SUMMARY:Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ് - South Indian Dance production
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe show brings South Indian Traditional Dance to the Forefront of Protest and Performance in Australian Premiere.  \nPowerful solo dance theatre work challenges gendered violence through ancient form and contemporary storytelling.  \nAcclaimed dancer and choreographer Swaroopa Prameela Unni makes her Australian\nmainstage debut with Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ്\, an interdisciplinary solo\nperformance running at The Blue Room Theatre from 8–11 October 2025. Earlier this year\,\nSwaroopa was awarded a choreographic residency through the Arts and Culture Trust\,\nwhich played a crucial role in the development of Resistance. \nFusing the traditional South Indian dance form of Mohiniyattam with spoken word\, digital\nmedia\, and original music\, Resistance confronts systems of power and gendered violence\nthrough a deeply personal\, culturally grounded lens. This is the first time Mohiniyattam — a\nform often associated with idealised femininity — has been presented in this way on a West\nAustralian stage. \n“Mohiniyattam is often seen as a celebration of idealised femininity—soft\, delicate\,\nobedient\,” says Unni. “Perth audiences don’t often get to witness traditional Indian forms\nlike Mohiniyattam being used in this way: not to preserve an ideal\, but to challenge it.”\nDrawing from both personal experience and broader social issues\, Resistance contributes a\nvital and often absent perspective in national conversations around gender equality\,\nparticularly as they relate to migrant and culturally diverse communities in Australia.\n“My hope is that audiences leave with a deeper awareness of how gendered violence can be\nembedded not only in systems\, but in the most intimate parts of culture—and how art can\nbe a powerful way of pushing back\,” says Unni. \nAbout the Artist \nSwaroopa Prameela Unni is a Bharatanatyam and Mohiniyattam dancer\, choreographer and\neducator who relocated to Boorloo/Perth in 2024 from Aotearoa/New Zealand. Since her\narrival\, she has presented work at Subiaco Arts Centre\, Scratch Night – Perth Festival 2025\, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2025\, The Blue Room Theatre Season and more. She is also a recipient of the Arts and Culture Trust choreographic residency and Make A Start 2025\nresidency at Lucy Guerin Inc. \nUnni’s practice has spanned Aotearoa and India over more than a decade. She is the\nfounder of Natyaloka School of Indian Dance (Ōtepoti/Dunedin)\, and her choreographic\nworks often explore feminist narratives\, identity\, and belonging through Indian classical\nforms. Resistance | ചെറുത്തുനില്പ് was first premiered in 2019 in Aotearoa and is her\nmost personal work to date. \nGET TICKETS HERE: https://blueroom.org.au/events/resistance/
