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 are preparing for Work-in-Progressive Showings in the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliances Studios in Washington Heights, NYC. 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, and Performers to read company bios!.
In 2025, we have been funded by a NYSCA Choreography Commission and the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance micro grant.
But we still need help covering costs. 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.)
