Singh's Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink merges dance, poetry, and live music to chronicle the Bay Area's Ghadar Party, a revolutionary force in India's fight for independence from British rule. Rooted in Bhangra and Giddha, traditional Punjabi dances embodying both celebration and resistance, Singh intertwines her diverse dance vocabulary to describe the enduring legacy of anti-colonial struggles. Ghadar Geet: Blood and Ink serves as a bridge connecting generations through the rhythm of struggle and the enduring quest for liberation, revealing the living connections that bind our history to the present.
