“Even for myself, I’m still grappling with the new ways of moving, away from the form and the structure that has been ingrained in me from young,” says Kausalyaa, a performer, choreographer, visual artist and drama educator, in a recent interview. Apart from adding contemporary movement into the show, another element of the Indian Culture – traditional clay-making is also another highlight to the show. The idea sparked from Kausalyaa, who worked with George Town Heritage World Heritage Incorporated and the Indian Association on a project that documented the whole process of clay-making in Parit Buntar .of having this as part of the show. She was very open to integrating both elements.
