Percussive Pulse
with Chloe C. Chotrani
Percussive Pulse is a 60-90 minute dance workshop that also explores the dialogue of dancing and drumming. It consists of undulations of the spine, movement as meditation, and body in relationship to land.
Percussive Pulse has been taught in Manila, Philippines from 2016 - present, as well as in Singapore since 2019. In this workshop, I integrated the different movement practices I have experienced from womb yoga, Acogny dance (West Africa), improvisation, and essentially cultivating the healing power of movement.

Chloe C. Chotrani
My experiences have brought me to learn dancing on the streets of Metro Manila to the waters of West Africa and the downtown dance scene in New York. I have facilitated class in residencies, with dance/theatre companies, and for the community in the different part of the world — mostly, Manila and where I am based now, Singapore. I have discovered my power in movement and it has brought me to become culturally mobile, to see with many eyes. My lineage is rooted in India, Philippines, and Singapura. Working with a deep curiosity for the world, for relations, and for ancestry. My aim in creation is to move beyond cultural boundaries. My manifesto is an exploration on the deep relationship between woman and nature. The collective healing that is called for asks that we find the power from within — our inner landscape as a source to draw from.
