Jaivant Patel Company: The JOYFUL, REIMAGINING of BOLD human stories.

The interweaving, assimilation and blending of Kathak and contemporary dance, inform the urgency in creation of universal work, that reimagines pertinent global intercultural narratives and celebrates the intersectionality of modern lived experiences.

“As a dance artist, LGBTQ+ and south Asian homosexual, Patel is refreshingly unique. The inconceivable relationship between religion and homosexuality in Patel’s YAATRA is a first for dance within our global culture. Instead of a cryptic condemnation of the past, Patel critiques tradition through reinvention” - Katie Hagan, Dance Art Journal.

Jaivant Patel Company is a National Portfiolio Organisation for Arts Council England.
