Piece Description: This is an abstract work, dedicated to the Lord of Dance and Destruction, Shiva. Through this piece, Yamini celebrates the versatility and dynamism of Kuchipudi’s movement vocabulary, which is paired with a mesmerizing and repetitive musical arrangement. The contrast between the ever-evolving dance and the recurring musical rhythms reflects the metaphysical ideas she explored during the choreographic process.”

Birds of Paradise is an evolving series of performances and films created with a changing ensemble of artists, exploring isolation, belonging, adaptation, and transformation. In this excerpt, those tensions collapse and fold into an intergenerational duet between Clarence Brooks and Jessica Gilmore, like a nesting doll. This one happens to be a bird.” Clarence Brooks and Jessica Gilmore
