A traveler between worlds and mediums, Joshua transforms his experiences into artistic expressions through dance, music, photography and the visual arts. Her creative practice and research are autobiographical in nature, exploring themes of identity and power from counter-hegemonic perspectives. One of the 2021 Artists in Residence at DRIFT in Dharamshala, he is currently exploring 'folk' as performance and function of unity, and experiencing collective memory. He is a co-founding member of 206 Dance Collective and engages with the global dance community through teaching, performance and podcasting.

Born in Mizoram, raised in Delhi and spent four years in the foothills of the Himalayas, Joshua felt neither here nor there when confronted with the question "where are you from ? ". This feeling was exaggerated when he moved to Canada where he was suddenly confronted with his "Indianness" and confused people with his "Asianness", as if the two were mutually exclusive. Despite this ambiguity, Joshua has always felt at home exploring his inner world through music and visual arts. However, it was dance that allowed her to pursue a professional career in the performing arts.

Joshua began his training at the School of Toronto Dance Theater where he received the Kathyn Ash Scholarship Award (2014) and the Kathryn Ash Leadership Award (2015). He quickly joined the Toronto Dance Theater under the artistic direction of Christopher House and performed in collaboration with Cirque du Soleil and 45 Degrees. He then worked with various international choreographers and companies spanning the fields of dance, theatre, physical theatre, circus and music, which helped him develop his range and versatility as a performer. Influenced by his work with Blue Poet DT, Wayne McGregor Studios, Jasmin Vardimon Dance Company, Compania Sharon Fridman, Darryl Tracy, Frederic Gavel and Mandeep Raikhy, among others, Joshua began to cultivate his own choreographic interests. This led him to continue his studies at the Institute of Arts in Barcelona, ​​where he obtained a master's degree in dance for his practice-based research in the embodiment of gendered personifications and male exhibitionism. He continues to deepen his choreographic investigation and artistic research through the Sailoway initiative. Since its inception in 2018, Sailoway has collaborated with a wide range of artists with performances in Canada, Malaysia, Spain, Hungary, Germany and across India.

He is committed to exploring movement with efficiency, sensitivity, safety and pleasure, bringing together research from artistic and scientific practices that offer insights to deepen our mind-body connection. He is currently engaged in various multi-disciplinary projects and enjoys the opportunity to build his art form while deepening his relationships with his friends and the community he serves. Navigating the blurry line separating his artistic and personal life, Joshua enjoys making coffee, gardening, drawing, and volunteering at the U&I Rescue Foundation. Joshua is currently based in Bangalore, using his time at home to integrate dance and technology while trying to keep his indoor plants alive.

Colleague and friend of Charles-Alexis for almost 10 years, he provides illustration for various Person Dance projects (J'ai pleuré ce matin dans le métro et The call of the embers) and collaborated with the latter within the framework of Moving Silences, a solo Zoom performance created by Desgagnés for Sailo during the pandemic.
