About this event
She’s Auspicious examines notions of “femininity” through the paradox of the Hindu Goddess Devi, worshipped as powerful and auspicious, in contrast to the woman who is objectified and marginalized in society. The solo Bharatanatyam work probes at popular narratives surrounding the Goddess as well as social and performative constructs of the dance form, which center around a particular aesthetic of beauty and refinement.
She's Auspicious is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts' National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Special thanks to Kalapriya Foundation, Mridu Sekhar, Akram Khan and North Eastern Illinois University.
