About:

As we emerge from a particularly long and dreary winter, hopefully also from the harshest reign of the Covid-19 pandemic and continuous global erosion of justice, Ananya Dance Theatre artists invite you to join us in an embodied practice that recognizes the need for renewal. How can we be like the ferns doggedly pushing their heads through the soil every year? Yet, rejuvenation is not a given, it is a practice that requires creativity, repetition, curiosity, so we can recognize where our bodies store pain, what old skins we can shed, where we can revitalize our cellular capacity. These are our rituals of rejuvenation, which lead us to dance with joy, fullness, emotion, breath, fierceness, and solidarity. 
This two-week intensive will offer different levels of interpretation, keeping in mind the different familiarity of Yorchhā** that people are entering with. Whether this is your first experience with Yorchhā**, or you’ve been practicing for multiple summers, we will meet you where you are to steer you towards individual excellence.
