In 2007, founder Raka Maitra began teaching Odissi (a classical dance from East of India) to a small group which grew into a vibrant community. Raka’s passion for creating original work led to years of choreographic exploration and performances at festivals around the world. In 2014, Chowk Productions became a professional dance company after receiving a Seed Grant from the National Arts Council. Chowk was recognised as a Major Company by the National Arts Council in 2021 and is internationally known as a pioneer of a unique Asian contemporary dance language bridging tradition and modernity.
