Ranjana Dave

Ranjana Dave (she/her) is an artist and writer whose practice emerges from her movement training, research, and writing, unfolding at the intersection of text and movement.

Ranjana also edited the award-winning volume Improvised Futures: Encountering the Body in Performance (Tulika Books, 2021).

Her artistic practice manifests across performance, writing, and various editorial and curatorial projects.
