After an unexpected yearlong pause due to health challenge, Parijat is back, and hard at work on O Ghostly Ancestor, a participatory performance / community ritual. We honor the gifts of our ancestors, strengthen our connection to Earth and community, and release what we no longer need. See Events for O Ghostly Ancestor performance info.
In 2025, we are funded by a NYSCA Choreography Commission and the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance micro grant.
But only half our budget is covered. Help Parijata Performance Projects realize this new work by making a tax-deductible donation. Your support helps us pay collaborators and cover admin / tech support, space rental, and documentation—not covered by grants.
Thank you for making our work possible!
(Our 2024 R&D was supported by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and Green Fund grants, and the UnRehearsed Artists Fund. PPP was also selected for our first national grant, the MAP Fund. which we are spreading over 2025–26.)
Parijata Performance Projects is fiscally sponsored Unique projects, Inc. which provides non-profit arts administration. Contributions to PPP through Unique projects, Inc. are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
