Adishakti is a performance company engaged in the research and reanimation of traditional knowledges in theatre, dance, music, movement, puppet and craft forms -- with a view to creating a contemporary hybrid aesthetic and performance language.

Additionally Adishakti's work and experiments cover those areas, which elliptically involve the performer and her environment medicine,architecture/construction technolog ies and the eco system. For Adishakti is driven, quite simply, by its apprehension of art/aesthetic practice as a unique bridge not only between diverse performance forms, traditions and knowl edge systems but also in fact between a range of diverse realms, which are not normally or visibly in communication with each other.

Adishakti therefore sees itself as a unique and potentially seminal site (of transition, passage, cultural traffic) committed to the cause of cultural and creative alterity . And as such, it recognizes and addresses complex modes of communication while preserving the “difference” of the speakers/partners in any given creative interchange.
