Swapnō Jhnāp: Dream Jumping
5 journeys, 5 portals, 5 medicines…
SWAPNŌ JHNĀP: DREAM JUMPING faces the ongoing chaos and escalating destruction of our Common Life by bringing connectivity and liberation out of the dream world and into reality. As the dancers travel through portals that cross time cycles and spacescapes, they integrate vital medicine and patchwork a methodology of dreaming that literally brings the desired world closer. We discover wisdom and connectivities inside the depths of oceanic grief, in the shared rhythms of a dance club, in the hatching of mythical creatures, in the rubble of war-torn landscapes, and inside quantum entanglements of movement and breath. Dancing together opens portals to the future, drawing on the feminist spiritual practice of quantum jumping.
Conceived and choreographed by Ananya Chatterjea, featuring the work of dramaturg/writer Dr. Nia O. Witherspoon (INYOSI Sebenzekhaya), composer Greg Schutte, stage director kt shorb, scenic designer Mina Kinukawa, costume designer Annie Cady, and lighting designer Kevin Jones.
Ananya Dance Theatre ensemble: Mariadela Belle Alvarez, Noelle Awadallah, Heaven Sha'Rae Calvert, Lizzette Chapa, Ananya Chatterjea, Kealoha Ferreira, Davente Gilreath, Juliet Irving, Zhané Jackson, Vy Nguyen.

ANTARANGA: BETWEEN YOU AND ME
$5 - $50
The approximate run time of the event is 80 minutes with no intermission.
ANTARANGA: BETWEEN YOU AND ME is set in a world in deep crisis, where most people have lost their ability to sense the energy of other human beings and can no longer recognize or connect with each other. A few humsafar (“fellow travelers” in Urdu) remain, blessed with super-connecting and heart-opening powers. As they undertake perilous journeys, they forge connectivities that may yet heal the world. ANTARANGA is the first work in a duology, and explores themes of intimacy, connection, trust, and community among BIPOC women/femmes. Ananya Dance Theatre’s ensemble of BIPOC women/femme dance artists will celebrate its 20th season in 2025, with the second and final work in this series.
