Through 2013/2014 he worked with Australian choreographer Lewis Major and Austrian based Ars Electronica Futurelab in an exploration of warped and exaggerated realities.

नृत्य दिग्दर्शक आकाश ओदेद्रा हा डिस्लेक्सिक आहे आणि त्याला दरवेळेस वाटते कि त्याचे उत्तम भाव हालचालीतून येतात. "मुरमूर" हि त्याची अनियमित वृत्ताची कविता आहे. पाने जेव्हा त्याच्या भोवती घिरटे घालतात अशा वेळेस - पुस्तकपानी वादळाच्या मध्यभागी रमताना त्याला पहा.
