Astad Deboo is an Indian contemporary dancer and choreographer. Born on the 13th of July 1947 in Navsari, India, he attended school at Ramniranjan Anandilal Podar College of Commerce and Economics and Loyola School, Jamshedpur. He specifically concentrates on training in Indian classical dance forms of Kathak as well as Kathakali. In the year 1996, he won the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award.
When asked in an interview about a particular diet that he follows, Astad answered, “No, I don’t follow any particular diet, but I eat sensibly. I make sure that I control the quantity of food. My weakness is sweets but I am able to burn it. I work out, go swimming.”
He added, “Also, my work is very concentrated and balanced, which really requires me to go into another space. A lot of people ask me, do you go into a trance when you perform. No I don’t, I get into a pattern, a rhythm. Then there is the body’s accelerator which tells you how much can I step back. Sometimes, the body says ‘no, don’t go full hog’.”
