Cauveri Suresh (they/them) is a dance artist whose work considers the relationship between bodies and their physical environment, frequently dealing with themes of time, mythology, and cycles of destruction. Their current, ongoing project is an iterative series of dance works, Destruction Mythologies, which creates new mythology in the interest of new knowledge for individual and collective survival under increasingly unsurvivable conditions. As part of Emma Lanier + Cauveri Suresh, they have created interdisciplinary performances that respond to site and sculpture. Cauveri is a 2027 RAWdance Radiate Fellow. Other recent support for their choreographic work in the form of residencies, grants, and commissions have come from Sense Object, Merde Project, Creativity Explored, Sonoma Ceramics, Destiny Arts Center, and Nava Dance Theater. As a performer, they have had the pleasure of working for KT Nelson, Molly Rose-Williams, Gerald Casel, Risa Jaroslow, and Lauren Simpson, among others. Cauveri graduated cum laude from Barnard College in 2018 with a B.A. in Dance. They were born and raised on unceded Tuibun territory and continue to live and work on the ancestral territories of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan (Ohlone).
