The Four Seasons: An Interpretation of Vivaldi's Music through Contemporary Dance and Couture

Oliva Contemporary Dance Project is a synergism of passion, audacity and perseverance. Initially founded in Italy under the name “Pantarei,” OCDP has since evolved from 2004 to be known for its exquisite movement style and visionary choreography. With each dancer’s diverse background, individual dancers contribute to the company’s talent as a whole while still manifesting personal artistry. Oliva and Dario create choreography that magnifies dancers in their prime and provides room for genuine personality to come alive on stage. The company’s trademark style integrates love, strength, and refinement on one stage; this ensures a long-lasting impression with each performance. Artistic Director and Co-Founder Michele Oliva and Francesca Dario are at the helm of this global and ambitious company. After producing numerous projects across Europe, OCDP has moved to New York City to challenge themselves as they strive to develop international recognition. Here they aim to expand their artistic reach and share the same passion that ignites OCDP’s dancers with audiences across the world. By these means, OCDP’s singular mission connects and touches everyone they come in contact with.

Vaishali S, an eponymous brand, is borne out of designer Vaishali Shadangule’s genuine affection and passion for the classic Indian weaves. Working with authentic woven textiles, perennially telling a culturally-rich tale about the country’s heritage, the brand has endeavoured to lend the Indian handloom weave a global design language of expression since March 2001. We’re all about celebrating the exquisite handloom weave. And there is at least one in each of the 29 states of the country!
