Born in 1947, this prolific dancer and choreographer has spent decades exploring freedoms of a different kind. At 72, he continues to dance with the energy of a young man and inspires his peers, students, and fans.His early life as a smalltown boy from Jamshedpur, his ride to foreign shores on a cargo ship, his groundbreaking collaborations with artists like Pink Floyd and training under Pina Bausch are the stuff of legend, and yet he remains rooted in the now.
