Siddharth Dutta is a Set Designer, Chorographer & an Architect based in New York City.
“His work explores INTERACTIVITY (the process of two or more people working together in a creative space and influencing each other)”.
As a Movement Artist and having a deep understanding of Architecture he is inspired by the way built structures frame our perception of space. Siddharth is originally from Bangalore, India and his interest in architectural forms began as a way for him to find an alternative art form and explore new dimensions in creative space.
He is continuously fascinated at how simple materials can be
transformed to create a unique experience. His Choreography & Designs are developed through these observations and responses which in turn create these experiences. He begins by observing and studying the details around him, for instance;
the way light filters through the window, the play of shadows on the wall or understanding behavioral patterns in human beings and how internal and external feelings and emotions have an impact on them. Throughout this research process the intension is to move around and experience the space and sketch ideas that help explore connections between bodies in space.
Working back and forth between movement and design helps develop layers, both in the work as well as in the process of its creation. His work involves multiple layers of perception in the experience of moving bodies in an architectural space.
By transforming what is familiar and common, the hope is to reveal something more complex and mysterious, drawing attention to the ways that we construct the world by looking at it. When our
perspective shifts or is distorted, new understanding becomes possible.
