Synopsis Astad Deboo is an internationally known Indian modern dancer/choreographer in the world and the pioneer in India for contemporary modern dance.
Astad Deboo\'s journey as a dancer began with lessons as a child in the Indian Classical dance form Kathak in the steel city of Jamshedpur in Eastern India . The young Astad struggled to come to terms with the iron frame of classical tradition, breaking free ønly when a chance encounter with Murray Louis doyen of modern dance set him on a long journey in search of a unique idiom.
For two decades Astad traversed the globe, in the time honored tradition of a seeker of knowledge. His search took him to the dance traditions of South America, Japan Indonesia, Europe, China and USA. After many years abroad Astad returned to India and trained in Kathakali the powerful dance theater from the state of Kerala bringing to his dance a combination of extreme physical control and stunning visual impact.
