Synopsis:

Bhumi - A disability led dance theatre production

Bhumi, meaning "Earth" in Sanskrit, is a bold, powerful and inclusive new dance work that asks a deeply personal question:

If the world is our home, then why do so many of us still feel left out?

Created by Maya Dance Theatre and its inclusive wing, Diverse Abilities Dance Collective (DADC), Bhumi shines a spotlight on persons with disabilities as they share their lived experiences, challenge societal stereotypes, and reclaim their place within our communities.

Bhumi brings together artists from Indonesia (Gigi Art of Dance, Jakarta), Australia (Liz Lea Creates and The Stellar Company, Canberra), and Singapore (Under the Bridge Collective), with poetry performance theatre artist Verena Tay and Music Direction by Kailin Yong.

Together, we ask:
Can the world be a kind and safe space — truly accepting of all people, of all abilities?

Bhumi is more than a performance — it's a conversation and call to action. It invites us to slow down, listen, and embrace one another with empathy and understanding to build a truly inclusive society.

Artistic Direction by Kavitha Krishnan in collaboration with the artists.
