Samakshi Sidhu (she/they b. 1996 Delhi, India) is a dance artist working on Wurundjeri country (Melbourne). Their practice is centred around the intelligence of the body in relation to ecological systems. They are currently investigating the body’s archive and intergenerational trauma as well as the social role dance can have, with a focus on community healing. Samakshi is interested in creating an improvisation based practice that is socio-politically informed and accessible. A few choreographers they have worked with are Ashley Lobo & Yuko Harada from India, Lotem Regev from Israel and Antony Hamilton & Jo Lloyd from Australia. Samakshi's choreographic interest led her to create 'How Do You Feel' a solo work made for Out of Bounds 2021.
