"This incredible news has sparked my soul. I am thrilled to embark on my exploration of how BSL can become an effective and wholesome part of performance. It’s heartening to know that the JHTRT have placed their trust in my vision and research. I am confident that this project will not only enrich our understanding of BSL in performance but also contribute to fostering inclusivity and accessibility within the arts community."
~ Artistic Director, Zoobin Surty Karma Dance
