MANCC Visiting Artist: Ananya Chatterjea

MANCC welcomes Minneapolis-based artist Ananya Chatterjea back to Tallahassee from February 14-22 for her second residency to further her work Fires of Lost Homes, this time with five collaborators. Her residencies are the second set in a three-year partnership program with the Urban Bush Women Choreographic Center Initiative’s (CCI) Choreographic Fellowship program. CCI utilizes a two-pronged approach that advances the work of individual women choreographers from the African, and in the case of Chatterjea, Indian Diaspora while bringing about systemic change in the field of dance. Chatterjea’s March 2019 site-visit helped familiarize her with the MANCC staff and their specific roles in support of residency artists, MANCC’s facilities within FSU’s School of Dance, and the possibilities of research that then took place during her fall residency and will continue during this residency.
