The first event in our Studio 5 series on October 2 is an evening with acclaimed performer, educator, and master of Odissi Indian dance, Bijayini Satpathy. The evening features live dance and music performances as well as conversation with critic and historian Alastair Macaulay.
Go behind the scenes with Satpathy, coming from a sold-out run of ABHIPSAA — a seeking at Baryshnikov Arts and ahead of her October 7 & 8 performances of SITĀHARAN in City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival.
“[Satpathy] is riveting from the first moment, as she morphs between characters, movement qualities, poses. One moment she is a demon, the next a living, breathing sculpture with a serene, eternal smile... She is as riveting in stillness as in motion.”
—Marina Harss, dance writer
