Choreographer

The centerpiece, “Chalo Ramiye,” was commissioned by Kanopy from South Asian dancer and choreographer Udbhav Desai, who will also guest perform in the dance. “Chalo Ramiye” (or “let’s play in Gujarati”) is a “garba” folk dance performed in ritualistic reverence of the Hindu goddess “Durga,” a protector of all that is good and harmonious in the world. Performing the festive garba dance form is a major highlight of the nine-day Hindu festival Sharad Navratri that honors “Durga” and has been observed for centuries.
