Up With People International Tour

Since Bollywood West’s inception, Founder/Artistic Director Renu Kansal has developed cultural programming, master-class dance workshops and choreography for public presentation and private organizations, including the opening sequence for Miss Asian-American Colorado, the Museum of Contemporary Art, Up With People’s international tour, the Chopra Center/Dr. Deepak Chopra, Colorado Heritage Camps (Indian/Nepalese), University of Denver and their LaMont School of Music, and the National Association of Asian American Professionals’ National Convention. She has staged the Bollywood West troupe in performances for NBA Halftime, Major League Baseball, The Boulder Arts Commission, the red carpet premiere of Slumdog Millionaire, Starz Entertainment, the Denver Film Society, and many more. Renu was invited to become a People To People fine arts Ambassador, and has been featured in both national and worldwide media. Her master classes, workshops, and choreography remain in high-demand, regionally and nationwide.

Additionally, Renu has over fifteen years of live-production, sound-engineering, and entertainment experiences with Walt Disney World and the William Morris Agency—both world-renowned for defining the concepts of entertainment and performance— bringing a behind-the-scenes professionalism and 360-degree understanding of what truly makes for a world-class show, from the moment of creative inception, through every facet of execution, to the stage.

In a visionary style, similar to that of Cirque du Soleil and Shiamak Davar, Renu’s artistic approach includes all facets of a production—set, props, costumes, makeup, lighting, audioscape, video integration-- everything! Let us bring this full-circle concept in cultural and creative services to you, in one of the following ways:

Choreography: In-Residence or Works to be Commissioned

Cultural Consultation/ Styling/Production Design
Considering an Indian-styled performance piece? We can help you to utilize accurate and optimal cultural influences for your idea. We can supplement your artistic vision with choreographic styling consultation and/or workshops, as well as full production design, including set concepts, staging, audio editing/mixing, stage management, makeup, and more. We are able to create and source customized costumes, jewelry, props and accessories for your group, from artisans in India, to suit any budget.

Flashmobs and Large Scale group-features
Bollywood dance is best known for its exciting and vibrant large-scale grand spectacle presentation. Key to bollywood films are the song and dance sequences, when the entire scene spontaneously breaks into a big group dance number. Ideal for corporate or high-profile events, use the element of surprise to transport your audience into a bollywood movie! We’ve staged hit-and-run and surprise-finale productions for a variety of clients, public and private, including the grand renovation of Denver Pavilions, the Village Arts Coalition and Boulder International Dance Festival, and the Starz Entertainment network’s VIP gala.
