TYPE NRITYA

Graphic design

With a particular emphasis on conventional Indian dance styles, Type Nritya translates hand movements used in dancing into Hindi inspired typography. It demonstrates the integration and similarities between dance and design and how one form may be transformed into the other. My Indian background, with love for both forms, is what sparked this creative fusion through the patience and trust in the process, communication of an idea and embracing uniqueness. By translating dance with a focus on typography, I push boundaries of what design and dance in India signify, while also giving Indian dance forms a new form.
