SUMMARY:Sacred Earth
DESCRIPTION:Ragamala Dance Company \nNEW DATE*: Thursday\, April 30 2026 7:30PM\nFriday\, May 1 2026 7:30PM\nLuminary Arts Center \n*Please CLICK HERE for information on the date update.  \nSacred Earth\nBy Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy\n \n\n“Ragamala\, directed by the mother-daughter team of Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy\, is an excellent company. Their devotion to the Bharatanatyam style and to treating that lineage as a living language is always radiantly clear.” — The New York Times \nRagamala Dance Company’s signature work\, Sacred Earth is a powerful\, hour-long journey of movement and music that celebrates the beauty and vitality of the natural world. Performed as a continuous arc of high-energy dance and evocative poetry\, the work unfolds like a living ritual. \nInspired by the ephemerality of the Indian art forms of kolam rice flour drawings\, Warli wall paintings\, and ancient Tamil Sangam poems\, Sacred Earth reflects Artistic Co-Directors Aparna Ramaswamy and Ranee Ramaswamy’s singular vision of the delicate\, interdependent relationship between humanity and nature. The performance becomes an invocation—reminding us that we are not separate from the earth\, but deeply woven into its breath\, rhythms\, and fragile continuance. \n60 minutes\, no intermission \n  \n\n\nThis performance is made possible in part by the Bridge Fund for Dance program through the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department\, and by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board\, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
