Ashwini Ramaswamy’s Invisible Cities

Bharatanatyam choreographer and dancer, Ashwini Ramaswamy, reinterprets Italo Calvino’s metaphysical novel through interwoven cultural perspectives and interactive projections created live by internationally-renowned visual artist Kevork Mourad. Gaining recognition for developing a distinct interplay between kinetic disciplines, Ramaswamy draws inspiration from the myths, rituals, and texts of South India in order to resurrect and reprocess her relationship with the past. Working with artists from diverse dance backgrounds–Gaga led by Berit Ahlgren, Modern led by Alanna Morris, and Breaking led by Joseph ‘MN Joe’ Tran–Ramaswamy deepens a choreographic methodology she began in 2019’s Let the Crows Come.
