Harveen is currently a third year MFA graduate student and part time instructor in the department of Theatre and Dance at the University of Colorado Boulder. She is also a 2024-2026 Engaged Artist Fellow with the department of Center for Arts and Humanities.

Her second emphasis explores contact improvisation, somatics, emergent technologies, and media arts practices. Her current research explores themes of ancestral activation, and archive. Themes of decolonial, feminist, queer, somatic, political embodiment and awareness guide her dancing and improvisation in connection to the beauty and dangers of our current, past, and future world.

Her works asks how can South Asian ancestral memory be activated and what emerges through? Where does memory, migration, and metamorphosis meet us and take us? How can our bodies shape shift to become the mortar and pestle as a vehicle and practice to keep culture alive while transcending time/tradition? Who are we and who do we become when we prioritize tenderness, touch, and storytelling? What gets to be translated and what is kept private as disobedience?
