"[inDANCE’s Hari Krishnan], the maverick gadfly is aggressively iconoclastic [and] a very naughty boy [who] scoff[s] at tradition, turn[s] things upside down and shake[s] out all the cobwebs”--The Toronto Star
“..most successful choreographic unions…intriguing work performed as scorching side-by-side duets that explored inDANCE’s affinity for hybridization…a raucous blend of classical steps, both Western and Indian.”
--The New York Times
inDANCE will perform the world premiere of the work ROWDIES IN LOVE by award-winning choreographer Hari Krishnan, Professor of Dance, Global South Asian Studies, and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.
Krishnan was awarded a 2024 Guggenheim Fellowship under the Choreography category.
In the rousing dance work ROWDIES IN LOVE, eight male dancers blaze through an inspired and inventive movement vocabulary, queering Bharatanatyam and contemporary dance from global perspectives. The piece is set to a global soundscape by United Kingdom-based composer Niraj Chag, winner of an Asian Music Award.
inDANCE includes Visiting Assistant Professor of Dance Eury German '16 and Spenser Stroud '22.
