Choreography

Sindhuja’s choreographic endeavours aim for a style of their own, shaped by her readings and the dance traditions she follows closely. Her work grows out of observation and interpretation, striving for a distinct voice for every piece.

  • Composed dance to over 25 solo repertoire works including Shabdams, Javalis, Tarangams, Keertanas and others in solo and group formats for self, students, and fellow dancers, spanning traditional to present-day styles.
  • “Pratighatana Svaralu- Volga’s Feminist Poetry” – Re-interpretation of female characters from epics, Hyderabad and Khammam (2025 and 2019).
  • Assistant Choreographer- ‘Nagarjuna Sagaram’ by C. Narayan Reddy (2025).
  • “Chinta chachina pulupu chavadu” – proverb-based choreography, Madame Menaka choreography Movement, Nadroop, Pune (2024).
  • “Samjna” – Co-choreographed for a duet on a mythological character Chudala, Raas, Hyderabad (2018).
  • “Stages of Grieving” performance in a ‘Documentary on Mourning’ featured on Doordarshan and now on YouTube (2017).
  • “Churnika” – A distinct composition by poet Ramadasu, Hyderabad (2016).

Choreography, for me, is a journey that unfolds step by step- a practice of layering where each thought, sound, and action adds depth until the whole takes shape.
