Nithya Nagarajan is an artist and curator whose practice adopts movement as a system of inquiry into the sacred, the sensual and the decolonial.
Her performance work affects sensory perceptions of the witness through a collaborative process of meaning making, underpinned by a strong feminist sensibility.
With a foundational training in Bharatanatyam, Nithya is interested in an expanded understanding of movement as:
grammar
raw material
counterpoint
construct
deconstruct
philosophy
system
organised effort
political conduit and
chaos
Living between Australia and India, via Kuwait and the UK, she has the curiosity of a visitor on Gadigal country.
