BINDI BOSSES

 

Established in April 2019, BINDI BOSSES is a progressive South Asian performing arts company that seamlessly blends Traditional Indian Classical and Folk dances with influences from South Asian Cinema and Street dances from around the world.

BINDI BOSSES provides a platform for culturally and linguistically diverse artists to collaborate and create live fusion dance experiences featuring signature Henna-style Face & Body Art.

“We use dance and art to challenge traditional norms and preconceptions. We do not pander to what people outside (or inside) our cultures expect to see. Instead, we are redefining what that looks like on our own terms, beyond the stereotype of Bollywood.

We stand in solidarity with the Traditional Owners of the unceded lands on which we practice and perform and advocate for greater South Asian representation, cultural and linguistic diversity, female empowerment, racial equity and intersectional inclusion.”

Commended/followed by: Rowi Singh, Cartel Madras, Lilly Singh, Bollywood Icon Sonam Kapoor.
Featured by: SBS Australia, Huffington Post, SBS Hindi, SBS Tamil, South Asian Today.
Performed for: ICC T20 World Cup 2020, sold out events at Oxford Art Factory and Enmore Theatre and Half-Time entertainment for Sydney Kings at Qudos Bank Area with L-FRESH The LION in front of 17,500+ people.
