Orange Butterflies and Aqua Sequins
A Quilt of Women’s Poetry and Dance
This is a BIC Elsewhere Event
Performer
Date: March 23 | Saturday
Time: 7pm – 8:30pm
Venue: Indian Music Experience Museum (IME)
Weaving a colourful tapestry of women’s voices across time, cultures and languages, the evening will string together diverse poems from Noor Jahan Sarvat to Kobita Sinha, from Ntozake Shange to Bahinabai Chowdhari, from Soyrabai to Arundhathi Subramaniam. Poems that tease and prod, poems that churn and swirl, poems that occupy space and celebrate reams and desires, faith and faithlessness.
This is a BIC Elsewhere Event.
While the majority of our events find a home at our premises in Domlur, BIC Elsewhere represents our commitment to bringing conversations, arts, and culture directly to diverse audiences. Through this initiative, we collaborate with various venues, extending the reach of our events beyond our own space. These partnerships not only breathe life into our gatherings but also play a crucial role in cultivating an environment for the flourishing of arts and culture in the city.
In collaboration with:
Performer
Sanjukta Wagh
Sanjukta Wagh is the founder of an interdisciplinary initiative called beej in Mumbai which is engaged in exploring the creative process and improvisation, alternative methods of classical dance pedagogy and collaborative performance. Sanjukta has developed a unique language of dance theatre that uses the language of Kathak as the base and draws from her experience of contemporary dance, theatre and hindustani music to create structures for improvisation and flow where wildness of the performing body can be allowed to blossom and be witnessed. Her work is greatly inspired by literature across languages and especially the Bhakti poets.
