Event Description : Aakashan is a fusion of Australian and Indian traditional aerial acrobatics arts. The Show is developed and directed by Catherine Daniel an Australian physical theatre practitioner in collaboration with Indian choreographer Vikram Mohan, Carly Sheppard, an indigenous Australian contemporary and tradition dancer and the Kalakar Trust.  The project is supported by Australian Government through the Australian International Cultural Council and kalakar Trust.

Aakashan is presented and performed by young artists from traditional artist families from low- income backgrounds.  The show’s female performances braved cultural bias to participate and succeed in the art form. Aakashan required six months to produce resulting in a well coordinated show.

The show’s daring aerial acrobatics feats performed include the aptly named gazelle split, half angel, mermaid, bow and arrow & sleeping beauty.  All these elements require incredible stamina and endurance to perform.
