SJD SHORTS Faultline
Created exclusively for our online audience, SJD SHORTS presents specially chosen excerpts from our rich catalogue, each one personally introduced by Shobana.
The first of these featuring Faultline will be broadcast live on Facebook on Sunday 17 May at 7pm (BST). Guardian dance critic Sanjoy Roy will be quizzing Shobana about this much acclaimed piece, which made it into the top ten dance works in the UK when it was first premiered. Click here for details, and to set an automatic Facebook reminder.
“Created in 2007, Faultline was a response to the 2005 London bombings and the spotlight it threw on young Asians. The angst, coolness and swagger that I found in Gautum Malkhani’s book Londonstani was a source of inspiration.” Shobana Jeyasingh
