The Crossing is a collaborative contemporary dance production between Zawirowania Dance Theatre, based in Warsaw, Poland, and Navdhara India Dance Theatre, based in Mumbai, India. The title refers to the cultural exchange that has taken place between the performers while working on this production. It represents the similarities and differences that arise during the coming together of two cultures – in this case, Central European and South Asian, the spiritual East and the rational West. In this production, Indian and Polish artists, through the mystical world of dance, celebrate their diversity and common experiences on stage. The performance comprises 5 separate pieces choreographed by Indian-Australian choreographer Ashley Lobo and Polish choreographers Karolina Kroczak and Elwira Piorun. Many of the dance pieces use Lobo’s notable technique, Prana Paint and FlowTM, which is a unique sensitizing approach developed by him that explores movement through yoga, breath, connectivity, and touch to help the dancer go deep within.
