ANANYA DANCE THEATRE
We intersect Contemporary Indian American Dance with a philosophy of social justice to create original dance theater about the extraordinary work and dreams of women around the world, and to inspire audiences through visual and emotional engagement. Inspired by the commitment and passion of women’s movements globally, our work links women’s stories with movement to invoke broader questions about social justice.
We premiere one new work annually in the Twin Cities, and commission new music for each new work. We offer touring performances, workshops, and dialogues throughout the year. Our work has been presented in 15 other U.S. cities and 11 other countries.
Our Mission
We create original Contemporary Indian American Dance theater at the intersection of artistic excellence and social justice. We envision an ensemble of dancers whose embodied power and beauty create seismic shifts in the ground on which they dance.
