Duration 30 min

Do you miss our India Dans Festival? Don’t worry. Korzo is opening its doors year-round to the richness of Indian dance. Because dance this versatile deserves to be seen. Together with choreographer, anthropologist, and dancer Kalpana Raghuraman, we’re searching for colorful performances that will spark your love for Indian dance.   

 

Tonight we’re highlighting two promising Indian makers who are still hidden gems to the wider public. You can catch them for free, right before the performance by Shijith Nambiar and Parvathy Menon. 

Kalpana Raghuraman is the artistic director of the dance company Kalpanarts. She grew up with classical Indian dance and now combines that background with urban and contemporary styles to create a new and interesting dance language that should appeal to many more people. In addition to her work at Kalpanarts, which she founded in 2015, she has traveled through India while working to further immerse herself in dance traditions. She is co-curator of Korzo and has put together two evenings each season. From 2024-2025, she will also be a Creative Associate at Het Nationale Ballet for two years.
