Who am I?

Zariya explores the human condition, questioning what it is that makes us, us. We explore 3 distinct aspects of individuality - the body, the mind, and the intellect, and take the audience through a journey of self exploration, questioning what characterises every action, reaction and thought of ours.

A Kathak-based dance production, Zariya pushes the boundaries of traditional dance, exploring a unique concept and boasting a powerful choregraphy.

Zariya is supported by National Arts Council Singapore and is a collaboration with Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society.

About Patang:

Patang is a dynamic performing arts group co-founded by Aishwarya Nishikant Kunte, Os Agarwal, and Swathi Madhavan, all alumni of the Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society and disciples of Guru Mulla Afsar Khan. With over 20 years of collective experience under their belt in performing Kathak, each member holds a diploma from SIFAS, and has been an active part of the dancing community in Singapore.

Patang is dedicated to showcasing the beauty of Kathak to diverse audiences by exploring traditional and universal themes. They excel in conceptualizing and presenting accessible yet profound ideas through their performances.

Notably, Patang has graced the Esplanade's Kalaa Utsavam stage for two consecutive years, in 2022 and 2023, with original concepts and choreography that were highly acclaimed by audiences. Their innovative approach to Kathak has garnered appreciation and admiration. Beyond their performances, Os and Swathi are also actively involved in spreading the joy of Kathak through teaching.

Patang seeks to connect with all demographics and share the rich cultural heritage of Kathak, blending tradition with contemporary appeal. Through their artistry and passion, Patang aims to leave a lasting impact on the world of dance.
