Anchored by a full-length dance drama performance, this project also includes expert panels, workshops, and talkbacks in partnership with regional organizations, researchers, and community leaders.

Together, we aim to spark conversation, reduce stigma, and empower collective solutions -- using the arts as a medium for change. 

Rooted in Bharatanatyam, we utilize this story-telling medium to connect with contemporary audiences. By putting a twist on established concepts, we invite the community into a familiar narrative that slowly changes perceptions. 

It's Private is a community activation project that focuses on issues pertaining to domestic violence, specifically intimate partner violence, within the South Asian community.

Through widespread collaboration & research, this work focuses not on one story, but on unearthing collective experiences that often define cultural norms.
