Introduction
Ragamala Dance Company
The world-renowned Ragamala Dance Company is co-directed by Renee and Aparna Ramaswamy - mother and daughter - with help from Ashwini, Aparna's sister. Extraordinary dancers all, they collaborate to create Ragamala's stunning, award-winning work that explores the ancestral to the personal through the language of classical Indian dance.
Who better to mine the depths of an ancient form through a contemporary approach than two generations of superb and dedicated talent?
“Nic Petry’s experience as a dance artist brings a deep sense of physicality and movement to his filmmaking. He is incredibly invested in each project he works on; we had many candid, in-depth discussions of how we could work together to make the films as dynamic as possible. Dancing Camera is a fantastic resource for artists who want to make their on stage work come alive on screen.”

Imaginative Imagery
Multi-camera performance filming, dynamic steadicam work, and in-depth interviews have allowed us to capture the fullness and three dimensionality of myriad organizations, such as in this promotional piece for Song of the Jasmine.
Imagery that stimulates the senses and moves the viewer is imagery that connects.

Creating a repository of material can harness the power of a vibrant and active social media profile. Maximize your conversions and subscriptions with the most successful and clickable tool available on the internet: video.
“Nic’s film work showed me a new way to see dance on camera - he creates a vivid three-dimensionality that I had not seen captured on screen before. His vision excites me and makes me want to push the boundaries of dance on film and the documentation of movement.”

Having filmed over a thousand performances in venues across the country, we have the experience to get the absolute best out of your event. Live theater and dance depend upon high-quality documentation for grants, fundraising, and record. Presenters respond to quality production and want to see your show in person. A TED-style conference can recoup funds from the sale of an excellent in-depth document of the event. We can help you build a bespoke package for your goals.
