River Rites explores the real life consequences of big
dam projects,
such
as in the Narmada Valley in India, through a unique
new style of
performance that blends Indian classical dance, folk
dance, yoga, world
music and narration.
River Rites is choreographed by Aparna Sindhoor, and
features text by
award-winning playwright Raju Sivasankaran. Folk and
incidental music
are performed by Warren Senders, a vocalist,
instrumentalist and
composer
who is recognized as the world's foremost non-Indian
performer of
Hindustani singing. The cast is a multicultural group
of five women
with diverse backgrounds in Bharatnatyam, African
dance, ballet, and
modern dance. The cast includes Sonal Bhatt, Rosemary
Candelario, Tara
Murphy, Aparna Sindhoor, and Anna Zamarripa. The
evening also includes a
piece by guest choreographer Kristen Kissik.
Critics have called Aparna Sindhoor's choreography
"hauntingly effective",
a body of work that "conveys boldly dramatic stories".
Another critic
raved: "Aparna Sindhoor does not just dance. She
becomes one with the stage."
