Fiscal Year Awarded
2016
Grant or Program
National Dance Project Production Grant
Grant Amount
$45,000

In this new solo work by Bharatanatyam dancer/choreographer Aparna Ramaswamy (performing with live music), women are carriers of ritual. Navigating inner and outer worlds, they are the primordial source of all creation: the compassionate mother, the lover, the exuberant and erotic, and the embodiment of power and strength. As humans, we endure and thrive through our transmission of wisdom from one generation to the next. For Ramaswamy, these intergenerational conversations provide a forum to create intricate and complex worlds that convey a sense of reverence, of unfolding mystery, and of imagination. Estimated artist fee: $14,000/performance, $22,000/week.
