"There is something transformative about putting on a costume, makeup, jewelry and getting on stage; every performer has their own unique routine. As a student of Indian Classical dance for the past 17 years, I have my own routine, too, and over the past few years, I’ve been capturing the routines of my fellow dancers. It’s very interesting to be on the other side of the lens, knowing exactly what the pre-show jitters feel like." - Tania Chatterjee
I love the whole concept of this series! The preparation taken before stepping out onto a stage is a meticulous step-by-step process. The state you’re in before the performance absolutely effects your quality in front of the audience. For me, it is a meditative time to focus, relax and release any physical or mental tension that I am carrying at all.
