Closing remarks and call for support
Founded and led by women of the Indian diaspora, Ragamala Dance Company has been a vital member of the Twin Cities arts community for 28 years. Throughout this time, every aspect of our work has been driven by a desire to forge connections—between people, ideas, disciplines, institutions, and communities.
In this time of uncertainty and isolation, artists everywhere are stepping up to help process the impacts of the COVID pandemic on our lives and our communities. In response, Ragamala has developed a year-round series of digital/participatory activities, inclusive community dialogues, and performances designed to inspire a sense of purpose, reflection, connection, and resilience.
We hope you a can join us to kick-off these new initiatives!
