Vikram Iyengar

The aural structure of Welsh Cynghanedd poetry and sonant nature of Indian Kathak dance rhythmic syllables have conceptual synergies, but very different grammars. Iyengar and Salisbury explore the agreement and friction between their forms, practices, and traditions; and propose conflict, dis/comfort and instability as spaces to fully inhabit. They wish to create material of visceral and vibrant beauty, danger and harmony, whether through a performance piece, a digital a sound installation, or a co-written paper.
