Hari Krishnan - Artistic Director

Described as a “maverick gadfly who is aggressively iconoclastic (and) a Very Naughty Boy who scoffs at tradition, turns things upside down and shakes out all the cobwebs (Toronto Star),” Guggenheim Fellow Hari Krishnan is a choreographer, dancer, scholar and educator. A Bessie and Dora Award-nominated dance artist, he is the artistic director of inDANCE. Krishnan’s choreography is technically rigorous, subversive, political, and fused with contemporary sensibilities. Krishnan is also Professor in the Department of Dance at Wesleyan University. His monograph Celluloid Classicism: Early Tamil Cinema and the Making of Modern Bharatanatyam, has been hailed as “an invaluable addition to the scholarship on Bharatanatyam.” Some of his recent honors include the 24-25 Don Michael Randel Ensemble-in-Residence at the University of Chicago (inDANCE), a Guggenheim Fellowship (2024), a Jacob’s Pillow Lab Residency (2024), Wesleyan’s Provost Research Award (2023) and a National Dance Project Grant (2022).
