Ashwini Ramaswamy and Kevork Mourad: Invisible Cities
A co-production with The Cowles Center and Northrop
Jan 27 & 28, 7:30 pm
The Cowles Center
Bharatanatyam choreographer and dancer Ashwini Ramaswamy (Ragamala Dance Company), deepens a choreographic methodology she began in 2019 with Let the Crows Come—named a “Best of the Year'' in The Washington Post and a critic’s pick in The New York Times. This collaborative reimagining of Italo Calvino’s metaphysical novel interweaves cultural perspectives with a dynamic group of dance artists—Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy (Bharatanatyam); Berit Ahlgren (Gaga), Alanna Morris (Modern), and Joseph Tran (Breaking), and visual artist Kevork Mourad, who creates Invisible Cities’ interactive, immersive projections in real time.
Invisible Cities is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project co-commissioned by The Great Northern, The Cowles Center, Northrop, The Ronald O. Perelman Center for the Performing Arts, The John Michael Kohler Center, the Bates Dance Festival, and NPN. More information: www.npnweb.org.
This production is made possible in part by funding from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, the Marbrook Foundation, and the Minnesota State Arts Board. The creation of Invisible Cities is made possible by residences at The John Michael Kohler Arts Center and The National Center for Choreography at the University of Akron, OH.
