Blue13’s Achinta created some pretty unique and incredible concepts in June for her brother’s big wedding in Greenwich, Connecticut! Never one to be part of the status quo, McDaniel created a Beatles song Baraat (the groom’s traditional procession filled with dancing family and friends en route to the wedding), with choreographed moves, live drumming and a stilt walker. Even The Huffington Post India picked up on the excitement. Video by Vinnie Chhabra. Music: Love me Do, The Beatles. Dhol: Sonny Brooklynwala.

Description: Blue13’s new Contemporary Indian works brings forth the rich rhythmic footwork and dance-drama of the Indian Subcontinent, strengthened by Blue13’s modern dance roots. Terpsichore in Ghungroos is a retort to Akram Khan’s simplistic statements regarding female choreographers in the 21st century, while the related Dragon excerpts explore the first generation South Asian American journey of duality, and the way in which that journey mirrors distinct identity crises faced by so many of minority cultures: woman, gay, immigrant, other.
