Gayatri Shetty
Dancer and choreographer
During this residency, I hope to deepen my ongoing exploration of fragility, systems, and presence by situating my project in a new cultural and architectural context. CN D’s unique environment offers the possibility to let the work evolve in dialogue with new spaces, histories, and conversations — challenging how I think about control, collapse, and choreography. I hope to come away with sharper questions and a more grounded choreographic voice.
