Ranan’s production work straddles two main categories: DANCE with Kathak at the centre of a variety of impulses THEATRE with dance and movement as an integral and powerful component

“The most valuable thing about Ranan’s work is that you are exploring between different disciplines, different genres and experimenting laterally across the arts.  Every piece has moved from a point of a given conventional technique and moved outwards.”
