“PRAKRITI: A HISTORY OF THE PRESENT” is an exploration into how
we, humanity, have arrived to our PRESENT DAY CLIMATE. We seek to
understand why we can be so unwilling to listen to views, beliefs or
behaviors different from our own. We journey to our most
primitive/primal times to discover our need for tribes, reactions to
the different, and ability to find balance. The initial stages in the
development of this production involved discussions, interviews and
surveys to study people's reaction and their means to find balance in
the current social-political environment. A work-in-progress showing
was completed in September 2017 at CHICAGO Fringe Festival. This full
length immersive multimedia production is a collaboration of movement,
music and visual art. The dance choreography is rooted in Indian
classical dance, Indian tribal and folk dance, the South Indian
martial art form of Kalaripayattu, and Western modern/contemporary
dance forms. Concept/Choreography: Kinnari Vora and Preeti
