“rapture/rupture” at Erasing Borders Dance Festival, New York City (13 Aug 2016)

It was my pleasure to perform “rapture/rupture” at the Erasing Borders Dance Festival at the Schimmel Center in New York City on August 13, 2016. Directed by Shyamala Moorty with dramaturgy by Sandra Chatterjee and music by Ravindra Deo, “rapture/rupture” is a contemporary abhinaya work that reinterprets the intimate and bittersweet rapture of poetic love-in-separation through cultural and gendered difference. The show included a diverse international array of artists of Indian dance: Sooraj Subramaniam, Revanta Sarabai & Pooja Purohit, Eriko Sugimura, and Rama Vaidyanathan. The festival also included a day of workshops and classes on August 14 and an outdoor concert on August 15.
