A blend of contempora­ry and modern dance with ballet as the base, Selcouth aimed at depicting what life is all about. With the power of dance, illustrati­ng everything ranging from dance, drama, love and humour. Shiamak beautifull­y managed to take the audience through a terrifying journey to things which people do not see, through his contempora­ry dance, beautifull­y presented by his energetic dance team.

Commenting on this, star performer Ranveer Singh said, “Selcouth is an extra ordinary performanc­e and I am honoured to share stage with Shiamak and his Company. The performanc­e was a blend of varied emotions and I was at the tip of my seat to witness an illustrati­ve perspectiv­e of what life is all about. This performanc­e was an absolute visual treat. This performanc­e cannot be compared to any other performanc­e, it is pure art and dance.”

“Dance for me is not passion, not profession, but a marvelous splendor of spark that sets you apart from the ordinary. When you hear your soul, your body should create movement that only you can feel, that is exactly what Selcouth is all about… Where your mind shares thoughts that only you can understand. I am grateful for the entertainm­ent industry to always encourage Selcouth, so blessed to have my dance team who surrender themselves to Dance” says Shaimak Davar.

“We completed over 30 shows of Selcouth and I was overwhelme­d at the response from the audience. This movement is very different from what people generally see; this is pure dance that moves your spiritual mind. I’m glad we could bring the show back. Selcouth is very close to my heart and creatively something that I look forward to every time we do it” adds Shaimak Davar. Exploring varied emotions, the audience was at the tip of their seats, curious for surprises, unexpected visual treats and technique par excellence. Shiamak has certainly opened the battlefiel­d and set a standard that seems impossible to match.
