Hi! I'm Sanjana.

Sun like the sky, gin like the drink, and "ah!"

I'm a queer, second generation Indian-American artist based in New York City. Hailing from the suburbs of Darnestown / North Potomac, Maryland - I like any prepubescent young brown girl - fell in love with Jonathan Rhys-Meyers in Bend it Like Beckham - and decided right then and there that I would also love to play pretend for the rest of my days if it meant I could stare into Jonathan Rhys-Meyers eyes for money.

I love sushi (especially on a conveyor belt), otters, and reading the "Did You Know?" sections for every single movie I've ever seen on IMDB. As a Libra sun and moon, I've been known to keep things balanced and collaborative. I'm deeply passionate about works that champion diversity and inclusion in dynamic and compelling new ways.

I am an artist, an activist, and I strive to be an advocate for radical change within the American entertainment zeitgeist into favoring our most marginalized voices.

Thanks for being here! Thanks for reading.

Love,

Sanjana

Take the guess work out of the "big kiss"

A strong and successful intimacy choreographer is on a creative team to ensure a safe, effective, productive, and collaborative approach to staging intimacy of all kinds - from hand holds to simulated intercourse and everything in between. Like any sort of high energy dance sequence in a splashy musical - staging intimacy is its own choreography that contains its own bevy of nuances; all while taking the boundaries we have as human beings into consideration.

Under the guidance of Chelsea Pace, prolific intimacy choreographer, coordinator, and author of Staging Sex - a guide to best practices when developing staged intimacy work; I have worked to provide an open dialogue of collaboration amongst those on all sides of the table: actors, directors, stage management and producers alike.

Why should staging sex have to be awkward? 

Let's break the stereotype - together.
