Step into a world where the vivid scenes, stories, and senses from centuries-old paintings burst forth in new life! In the Calderwood Courtyard, the Anubhava Dance Company will perform new pieces of Indian classical dance set to an original musical score and choreography. The dance program is inspired by paintings from our South Asian art collection and will be accompanied by art historical commentary from Janet O’Brien, the museums’ Calderwood Curatorial Fellow in South Asian and Islamic Art. This performance brings together multiple forms of Indian art, and we invite you to join us in this artistic exploration across disciplines, space, and time.
About the Anubhava Dance Company:
Anubhava, meaning the “experience,” aims to capture and explore the myriad emotions that encapsulate the human experience through Indian classical dance and music. Founded by Dr. Shriya Srinivasan and Joshua George, the company comprises a vibrant group of second-generation, award-winning Indian American artists. The company’s repertoire ranges from traditional works exploring the depth of Bharatanatyam to contemporary, thematic works expanding the horizons of the Indian classical arts.
