“rapture/rupture” at Swarthmore College (1 Oct 2016)
It was an honor to perform “rapture/rupture” at my alma mater for “Making Change for Better Communities Through Dance,” an event commemorating the contributions of Swarthmore College’s beloved long-time director of dance, Sharon Friedler. 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.
Here is a nice review about the event: http://philadelphiadance.org/blog/2016/10/04/review-making-change-for-better-communities-through-dance-a-tribute-to-sharon-friedler/
