Described as 芒鈧搕hrillingly three-dimensional . . . rapturous and profound芒鈧 (The New York Times) and selected as one of Dance Magazine芒鈧劉s 25 to Watch for 2010, Aparna Ramaswamy performs in the solo work, 芒鈧揟hey Rose at Dawn.芒鈧 In this stunning piece, women are depicted as carriers of ritual. Navigating inner and outer worlds, they invoke a sense of reverence, of unfolding mystery, of imagination. A stellar Carnatic musical ensemble accompanies Aparna Ramaswamy as she explores the spontaneous interplay between music and movement and the dynamic contours created by the artists onstage.

Imbuing the South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam with a thoroughly contemporary exuberance and their 芒鈧搗isionary approach to an ancient art form,芒鈧 (Dance Magazine), Ragamala explores the dynamic tension between the ancestral and the contemporary, making dance landscapes that dwell in opposition芒鈧漵ecular and spiritual life, inner and outer worlds, the human and the natural, rhythm and stillness芒鈧漷o find the transcendence that lies in between.
