Rathimalar Govindarajoo
Performing a piece close to her heart; Rehab, Rathimalar will entice the audience of how dance is more than just movement. Slow and strong, Rehab’s meditative choreography takes the dancers into a journey of a parallel universe and self realisation. Being open-ended, the story grows, just like ours. This collaborative piece shines various techniques in dance, mirroring what Rathimalar believes in, using dance as therapy. She’ll be performing this precious piece, and take us all through what she calls, Rehab.
