Delighted to present by Karthik Tantri for India's79th Independence Day Celebrations at Naveena Koothupattarai! Move your way to freedom!

Do sign up if interested, fam. Kindly spread the word too. Thank you! :)

Join us for DRIFT, a 3-day contemporary dance intensive presented by Naveena Koothupattarai and led by Karthik Tantri.

What if your movement came not just from technique — but from intention, breath, and instinct?

DRIFT is a three-day contemporary dance intensive designed to deepen your connection with your body, energy, and purpose. This immersive experience emphasizes movement from the inside out, fostering presence, sensation, and meaningful expression.

What We’ll Explore:

GRAVITY – Move with gravity to find power, balance, and grounded ease in every gesture.

BREATH – Use breath as your inner metronome and guide — bridging emotion and movement seamlessly.

IMPULSE & MOMENTUM – Let go of control. Follow instinct. Discover how energy flows and propels you naturally.

Who is this for?

Open to all movers and theatre practitioners —trained or untrained, experienced or exploring.

If you’re ready to question, expand, and rediscover your body through movement, DRIFT is your space.

Venue: Naveena Koothupattarai, Chennai
Dates: 15, 16 & 17 August 2025
Time: 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM
Fees: ₹2500 for all 3 days | ₹1000 per day

It was great to have your team rehearse at our space! :)
