Join @dreachoreo the Director of Dance Masala and creator of ITEM (Aug 17-19 in the New Benner Theatre) for a workshop to learn fun and energetic Item Style Bollywood dance. Bollywood is one of the World's largest film industries with Masala Movies containing a little bit of everything - from action, drama, romance and family values! Bollywood is well known for its catchy music & its lively, energetic dancing! An 'Item Girl' or 'Item Number' is a trope that is unique to Bollywood, a sexy dance number which often has no relevance to the plot. Catch a piece of the Bollywood action with this dance workshop!
Drea will also be hosting Dance Your Ideas: Creating Bollywood Dance on 28 June. Find out more HERE.Andrea Lam is the Director and Founder of Dance Masala Bollywood Dance Company, the largest independent Bollywood Dance Company in Australia, founded in 2012.
Prior to her work with Dance Masala, she studied Visual Art at QUT focusing on video work, projection and performance. As a dancer, she is trained in Kathak, Hip Hop, Bhangra, Waacking, Lavni and many other Indian and non-Indian dance forms. As a dance artist, she creates modern Indian fusion and is interested in using a combination of dance & video to tell stories.
To Andrea, dance is a means of emotive storytelling – the power of dance can transcend language, and a means of finding a connection with her Indian heritage and sharing it. She is interested in warping form, playing in the intersections of cultural, commercial and contemporary dance.
