Chitra Vairavan is an artist, seeker and contemporary indian dancer/choreographer based in Mni Sota Makoce/Minnesota. She is immersed in Tamil/Thamizh culture and progressive politics in the U.S. Her embodied practice and experimental process is rooted in deep listening, spatial observation, freedoms, poetry, vulnerability and ancestral memory. She chooses to gesture towards and embody within the practice of liberation and decolonization in creative and collaborative choices. Vairavan dances to heal and creates dance to help heal others. The aesthetic of her movement is through both yoga and contemporary Indian dance forms – a mixture of training in Bharatanatyam, Odissi and Yorchha™.
