Engaging in Repertoire

We are working towards making a space of dialog for artists and audiences, for both artists and audiences, in how to hold different lenses of contemporary expansion and artistic references.

The Engaging in Repertoire Residency is a curatorial project developed by Nithya Garg and Tanveer Alam through the Dancemakers Guest Curator Program.

This initiative brought together artists Sanjukta Banerjee, a Mohiniyattam dance artist, and Marie Lambin-Gagnon, a Western contemporary dance and visual artist, with her dancers Megumi Kokuba and Jessica Germano.

Their collaboration focused on the concept of slowness in both form and choreography, exploring how their practices could intersect and inspire each other.

The residency was further enriched by the insights of dramaturges Brandy Leary and Harikishan S. Nair, who provided ongoing support for the artists’ research and creative process.
