Meshground is a dance company and creative platform where movement becomes a catalyst for thought, action, and transformation. Co-founded by Umeshi Rajeendra and Shonaka Ranatunga, we create performances that don’t just entertain - they provoke, challenge, and inspire audiences to engage with urgent social and environmental issues.
As a non-profit initiative, Meshground brings together artists, thinkers, and changemakers to explore the human experience through innovative movement, research, and collaboration. Our work blurs boundaries between art, education, and activism, using the body as a powerful site of knowledge and social action. Every project is an invitation to experience the world through a fresh lens - to think deeply, feel intensely, and act consciously.
Through performance, workshops, and community initiatives, we cultivate a space where experimentation thrives, ideas intersect, and creativity ignites change. We believe that dance can awaken humanity’s potential and help envision a future that is inclusive, sustainable, and alive with possibility.
We honor the land beneath our feet, the wisdom of generations, and the oceans that surround us. Every gesture, leap, and pause is a reminder that art is not only movement - it is connection, reflection, and hope.

Committed to artistic excellence, we create impactful works that engage and inspire. Our mission is to ensure that our performances are accessible to all, enriching the cultural landscape and fostering a love for dance within our communities.
