He recently completed 50 momentous years of performing on stage, but for Astad Deboo, it may well have been just another day at work. 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. Constantly pushing the boundaries of performing arts, he has created new vocabularies of movement.
