UTAHPRESENTS.ORG


Choreographer’s Notes Shyamali is a tribute to all women across the world who have stood up against oppression, despite risk; who have constantly been at the edge of innovation as they have refused to be cowed; whose courage and persistence are historic even when they do not make it into the books of History; whose endless labor in dissent sustains their communities. Standing in resistance continuously necessitates sacrifice, vigilance, strategy. And even as we celebrate the unwavering labor, ingenuity, and the softness of women across the world who stand up to injustice, we acknowledge the pain, anxiety, and trauma that come with this work. Dancing Shyamali has taught us that dissent takes many forms, and the energy invested in each act of resistance is particular. Our creative process has brought us repeatedly to values of community, love, and solidarity that are at the heart of every grassroots movement. Our explorations in how to move like grass, soft, green, and forever returning have brought home to us the magnitude of women’s work in dissent, across time and space. Specifically, we owe our thanks to the women who have sustained Black Lives Matter, Native Lives Matter, No Dakota Access Pipeline, Fees Must Fall, Hok Kolorob, and many other global resistance movements. Our gratitude to Cannupa Hanska Luger, the indigenous visual artist whose mirror shields, made for the Oceti Sakowin Water Protectors at Standing Rock, inspired the last movement in Shyamali. To all of these leaders, we offer our greatest thanks and respect. I thank my collaborators for their tremendous support in bringing this vision to life. I am humbled by the countless contributions of my dancers without whom this work would be unimaginable. To our audiences, thanks, and my poem*: Standing in the scorching sun, we kiss the earth, hold each other sacred. We refuse the narrow lanes of hatred, spineless fear, violence of retribution. The closing of my imagination is outside of power’s reach. No, no, no, no, no. In radical love, I dissent. I affirm. Yes. –

Ananya Chatterjea

Artist Information Ananya Chatterjea (Guggenheim Choreography Fellowship, 2011; McKnight Choreography Fellowship, 2012; Joyce Foundation Award, 2016) is the artistic director of Ananya Dance Theatre, creating “people powered dances of transformation” that intersect women artists of color and social justice choreography. Her most recent work, Horidraa, was described as “a sweeping work that makes reference to everything from online dating to the modern health care industry” (MPR News, 9/13/16) and her choreography was applauded for “never flinch(ing) from exposing injustices women around the globe are subjected to daily” (Star Tribune, 9/19/16). She has toured her work to Ethiopia with U.S. State Department support, presenting the keynote performance at the Crossing Boundaries Festival in Addis Ababa (2015), to the Harare International Dance Festival, Zimbabwe (2013), the New Waves Institute of Dance and Performance, Trinidad (2012), and other national and international locations. Ananya is Professor of Dance at the University of Minnesota, where she teaches courses in Dance Studies and technique. She recently presented the keynote talk at the joint conference of Congress of Research in Dance and Society of Dance History Scholars (2016). She is currently writing her second book, under contract with Palgrave McMillan, exploring the politics of “contemporary dance” from the perspective of artists from global communities of color. Ananya is grateful to her dancers and collaborators for their commitment to excellence and justice, articulated artistically, and to Deej, Raj, and Srij, her loving family, for holding her together through storm. Marcus Young (Collaborating Director) is a behavioral and social practice artist making work for the stage, museums, and the public realm. He seeks new tones of belonging and liberation through design of behavioral and social forms, and shifts in systems and awareness that turn things into art. He created Don’t You Feel It Too? — an ongoing participatory street dance practice of social healing and inner-life liberation. From 2006 to 2015, he was City Artist in St. Paul, where he helped redefine the role of the artist in government as daily collaborator. His project Everyday Poems for City Sidewalk transformed the city’s sidewalk maintenance program into a publishing entity for poetry. Museum work includes With Nothing to Give, I Give Myself — living 10 days around-the-clock at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts to foster the understanding that people are the great overlooked works of art. Born in Hong Kong, Young has a BA in music from Carleton College and an MFA in theater from the University of Minnesota. Young is a recipient of awards from the McKnight, Bush, and Jerome Foundations. He received the 2016 Forecast Public Art Mid-Career Grant, given to one artist a year. Shyamali is his sixth show with Ananya Dance Theater. www.DYFIT.org Annie Cady (Costume Designer) holds an MFA degree in Theatre Design and Technology from the University of Minnesota, and a BA in Theatre Arts from Simpson College.
