Studio Stories: Reminiscing on Twin Cities Dance with Ragamala Season 2 Episode 26

Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy's Ragamala Dance Company is the embodiment of an immigrant story. Founded in 1992 by Ranee, and currently under the leadership of Artistic Directors Ranee and Aparna and Choreographic Associate Ashwini Ramaswamy (mother and daughters), their aesthetic is deeply influenced by their cultural hybridity as Indian-American artists. Practitioners of the South Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam, they explore the myth and spirituality of India to engage with what they see as the dynamic tension between the historical, the ancestral, and the personal.
