"As an emerging artist, she is someone to watch...“Aval’s” opening is a stunner...her shifts between being a solid technician and a contemporary performer crystallize...The personal and social transformation evident in her dance also speaks to the realities that immigrants bear witness to. Murugesan asserts herself in a poetic and determined manner, creating movement informed by her interdisciplinary vision and abilities, indicating all the while that boundaries are to be bypassed and reconsidered."
