Chitra Subramanian of chitra.MOVES intersects the movement traditions of Indian classical dance and hip hop culture to offer powerful and electrifying dance works for all ages. Rooted in themes of relationships, community, and the power of institution, the collective utilizes immersive storytelling and multidisciplinary elements to create meaningful connection and transformation within audiences.

This performance is a full-bodied dance work that explores how we activate our ecosystems of care in times of turbulence and transformation. This work explores how grief can open new pathways to connection — how care is passed between generations, how communities step in to protect each other, and how we find strength in shared rhythms and stories. Blending movement foundations from Bharatanatyam and hip hop, the piece honors tradition and innovation, memory and presence, inviting audiences to reflect on their own circles of care and how to activate and sustain them.
