Aishwarya Raut
Contemporary dancer
The residency gives me something I rarely have, an uninterrupted space to listen to and trust my instincts. My practice is held in instinct, intuition, and inner dialogues, and here I can fully follow those impulses. It allows me to slow down, play and take risks that shape my movement. During this time, I hope my new work can grow in an honest and intuitive way.
