Award-winning choreographer and performer Preeti Vasudevan is taking the best of Indian classical dance heritage to the youth in the Wes
INDIA @ HEART

What Preeti Vasudevan miss-es most about India is the multi-generational sense of home. The award-winning New York-based choreographer and performer sorely longs for “that sense of an ongoing story and perspective” for herself and her 10-year-old daughter that only living with parents, grandparents, uncles and aunts can give you.

And so Preeti took a little bit of home to New York.

An exponent of Bharatanatyam, Preeti has made a niche for herself by creating new provocative contemporary works from the Indian tradition adapted for a global audience. Her love affair with dance and choreography began in her teens. Raised in Delhi, Chennai and Bengaluru, she lived briefly in Indiana in the American Midwest before she moved to London to do her Master’s in dance studies from Laban Centre. Later, she qualified as a certified movement analyst from the Laban Institute of Movement Studies in New York, and began a new life in the dynamic city.
