Neeraja Ramani is a dancer choreographer teacher active for three decades in India, Singapore, and Canada. She creates dance works sourcing material from contemporary and ancient Indian texts. Her works are informed by the deep journey within the human mind, human relationships and lived experiences. The Tamil language plays a significant part in her works. Her earlier creations were within the framework of Bharatanatyam that addressed the resilience of women and gender inequality. Her recent works explore her training-based contemporary movements. Feminism is the core material of her research and creations. Through her works, Neeraja continues to question the views of society on women’s bodies in past and present that hold complexities of gender dynamics, power, and gaze. She continues expanding her movement vocabulary, and use of language and voice in her creative process. She has performed in modern Tamil theatre with other theatre artists in India and Canada. Neeraja has collaborated in durational multidisciplinary artworks that speak of collective histories and the displacement of people.
