Don't miss this rare L.A. appearance of Ananya Dance Theatre, featuring Dr. Ananya Chatterjea, the company's founder and choreographer. Shyamali -- which means "dark green" in Bengali and evokes the resilience of grass to spring up when trodden upon -- was created using story circles with women from communities of color. In this three-act contemporary dance piece, Chatterjea showcases the style of movement she originated called Yorchha, a fusion of three Indian movement disciplines -- yoga, Odissi and Chhau. Catch Shyamali: Sprouting Words at the Skirball Cultural Center.
