Can gesture be a point of departure for experiments that cross disciplines, languages and sites? The \u201cGather Wood, Gather Words\u201d group of the Anthropocene Research Kitchen invites you to explore this question with Dancer\/ Scholar Priya Srinivasan. No dance experience is expected. Comfortable clothing and shoes are necessary.<\/p>\n
Dr. Priya Srinivasan is a performer\/choreographer\/scholar and Artistic Director of Sangam, a unique self represented performance platform and research hub based in Melbourne. Sangam, under her direction has grown from a humble beginning to an acclaimed space for South Asian artistic and research excellence featuring over 300 artists, scholars and creatives since 2019. Her own artistic practice and research is rooted in South Asian classical dance, prioritizing feminist decolonization processes, and making visible minority women’s histories. Her work has been presented internationally in major universities, festivals and venues in USA, Europe, China, India and Australia. She has a PhD in Performance Studies from Northwestern University. She is the author of the acclaimed book Sweating Saris: Indian Dance as Transnational Labor and was an Associate Professor at UCR. She uses practice as research and brings key theoretical ideas into her artistic work to create transformation and change. Recently, she has premiered two ground breaking works: The Durga Chronicles (Green Room Award winner for Breaking Ground) and Agam (part of Mosaics) with the MSO at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl to create decolonial, equitable, intercultural, multidisciplinary collaborations of artistic excellence that redefines music as dance, theatre and text. She has a work in progress called: The Copy of the Copy which questions ideas of appropriation between western and non western art making and asks who profits?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
