Ramaswamy Featured in the New York Times
Aparna Ramaswamy, Carleton Class of 1997, who recently performed in New York City, was featured in The New York Times with raving reviews, which says she “lit up Pace University’s Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts.”
The dance review titled, “Pleasing Deities, and the Eyes, With Storytelling Steps From India,” examines performances by four classical Indian dancers.
Ramaswamy, who is the co-artistic director, choreographer, and principal dancer of Ragamala Dance company in Minneapolis, “exuded a brisk, eager energy in her hourlong program, ‘Sannidhi (Sacred Space),'” reviewer Siobhan Burke wrote. “Joined by four superb musicians, she gorgeously embodied the swooping violin; the plunking mridangam; the wailing, warbling vocals.”
Ramaswamy had been named the 2011 Artist of the Year by the Star Tribune and awarded the prestigious McKnight Fellowship in 2012.
