Navya Sah
Interdisciplinary artist across sound, film, movement and writing
Navya Sah works in the realms of filmmaking, performance, sound and writing. She enjoys simplicity, slowness and detailed observation-making through felt work. She likes the quiet.
"I am curious to understand the relationship between my body, my breath and my inner conscience. I want to be able to melt or rapidly solidify and stand strong like an aged pillar but powerful like a sudden storm. I want to send quiet and perseverant attention to my body with love, respect and concern. I want to ask every part of my body and every one around me “Are you fine?” and whatever their answer may be, I want to be able to read through those words and understand the inner conscience of a person.
I want to be in a world of silent voices feeling, giving, and opening up with vulnerability. We live in times full of desperation and insecurity, full of longing and a sort of dishevelment of not knowing where to go, who to belong to and who we want to be.
We have muffled and muted half conversations with our own selves which are drowned out by the clutter of information around us. I hope to explore a form of movement meditation that helps us quiet down and listen to ourselves and the world around us.
There is much it is trying to say, only if we listen."
Her film work in sound has had the opportunity to go to the Berlinale, Busan International Film Festival, IFFK and Hot Docs Toronto amongst many others. She is also a certified 200 hour Yin Yoga teacher and loves working with senior bodies in online and offline formats.
