Aparna Ramaswamy presents They Rose at Dawn
Location: UH Hilo Performing Arts Center
Under the direction of Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy, Ragamala Dance Company's work explores the dynamic tension between the ancestral and the contemporary. As choreographers and performers, Ranee and Aparna create dance landscapes that dwell in oppositionâsecular and spiritual life, inner and outer worlds, human and natural concerns, rhythm and stillnessâto find the transcendence that lies in between. As mother and daughter, each brings her generational experience to the workâthe rich traditions, deep philosophical roots, and ancestral wisdom of India meeting and merging with the curiosity, openness, and creative freedom fostered in the United States.
They Rose at Dawn is a solo work, depicting women as carriers of ritual. Navigating inner and outer worlds, invoking a sense of reverence, of unfolding mystery, of imagination. A stellar 5 piece 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.
âthe eye often goes straight to Ms. Ramaswamyâs impeccable technique and incandescent beauty. Through her dancing, the musicâs textures come into viewâ
â Siobhan Burke, The New York Times
âAparna Ramaswamy is a vision of sculptural lucidity whose dancing brings a full-bodied awareness to complex rhythms and shifts of dynamics.â â Gia Kourlas, The New York Times
The presentation of They Rose at Dawn was made possible by the New England Foundation for the Artsâ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, with additional support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
