Living the Dream
A playful meditation on identity.
A playful visual and aural meditation on identity, exposing the internal lines of geography and history that we inadvertently draw from inside ourselves and use to shape our own and others‚ identities.

Rajni Shah
Rajni’s work as an artist leans gently but clearly across disciplines, countries and thought structures. She is a quiet voice of change, creating and curating visually engaging performances, interventions and writings that open up new spaces for conversation and meeting. Whether in a public space, in a theatre or on the page, Rajni looks for ways to shift perspectives and invite intimate dialogue with strangers.
Rajni has been creating original performance work since 1999. Her work ranges from large-scale performance installations made through an in-depth collaborative process to small solo interventions in public spaces. She has performed in the UK, Europe and USA, including the National Review of Live Art, Alternate ROOTS, Tanzquartier Wien, Arnolfini Bristol, Nuffield Lancaster, Chisenhale Dance Space and the Chelsea Theatre. Ongoing collaborators include Lucille Acevedo-Jones, Lucy Cash and Manuel Vason.
