Cauveri’s choreographic work has been supported by residencies, commmissions, and grants from Merde Project, Foundation for Contemporary Art, Creativity Explored, Sonoma Ceramics, Destiny Arts Center, Nava Dance Theater’s Unrehearsed Artist Residency, to be like the river Residency. Currently, Cauveri dances for KT Nelson. Previously, they have had the pleasure of performing work by Gerald Casel, Risa Jaroslow, Kickbal, Lauren Simpson, Ky Frances, and Jodi Melnick. Cauveri’s work as a performer and choreographer is particularly influenced by their study with Joanna Kotze, Christina Robson, Doug Varone, and Okwui Okpokwasili.
