Short Biography
Content created by Virtual Intern Erick Bonne
Arina Araratian is an Armenian choreographer and founder of the professional dance studio Pictures from Exhibition. She has organized masterclasses for professional dancers and produced international dance projects. In 2008, Araratian participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) on a "Performance Arts Management" project where she and five other participants traveled throughout the United States to view American productions, learn about intellectual property rights protections, and study the challenges of producing, organizing, and securing sponsorship for the arts.
After her experience with IVLP, Araratian gained a new perspective on art production strategies and an expanded network. She returned to Armenia to create two exceptional works—Girl on the Moon and Unlimited Movement. Both projects featured performers with disabilities to raise awareness of inclusion in Armenian society. Next year, Araratian hopes to create a new project focusing on the theme of Women, Peace, and Security.
Arina Araratian demonstrates the cultural traditions of Armenia and showcases the integration of people with disabilities in everyday activities and particularly through the performing arts.
