Asha Kinetic

About

Where movement meets manifesto, Asha Kinetic transforms stages into battlegrounds of social critique, deconstructing rigid expectations through fluid, provocative choreography. Every performance pulses with an electric defiance—a bodily rebellion that speaks volumes without uttering a single word.

Backstory

Silence became Asha's first teacher when childhood meningitis stole their hearing for eighteen months, forcing them to communicate through movement long before they knew what dance meant. The hearing returned, but the language of the body remained their truest voice, speaking truths that words could never capture. During a university protest against gender-binary bathroom policies, Asha's impromptu performance in the campus quad—a visceral piece about bodies existing in liminal spaces—went viral and launched their career as an activist-artist. Now their choreography serves as a bridge between the academic and the streets, each piece a manifesto written in flesh and motion. Their signature work "Frequencies" uses subsonic vibrations to let hearing and deaf audiences experience dance as pure sensation, dissolving the boundaries between performer and witness.
