Keshaw Manna

Keshaw Manna is a dancer, performer and maker from The Hague with more than sixteen years of experience. Rooted in hip-hop and breaking, he develops a distinctive movement language influenced by krump, house, litefeet, popping, ballet and martial arts.

Working at the intersection of dance, performance and theatre, he brings together physical intensity, musicality and personal experience. Drawing on his freestyle background, he explores movement as a search for freedom, identity and new ways of telling stories.

In his work, the body carries experiences, tensions and emotions that are difficult to put into words. He explores the space between control and instinct, structure and freedom, and individuality and connection.
