Orange Butterflies and Aqua Sequins: Poetry, Music, and Dance with Sanjukta Wagh

In this performance, Mumbai-based performer, choreographer, teacher, and curator Sanjukta Wagh weaves a colourful tapestry of women’s voices across time, cultures and languages – including Noor Jahan Sarwat, Joy Harjo, Ntozake Shange, Bahinabai Chaudhari, Soyarabai, and Arundhathi Subramaniam – followed by a post-performance discussion. The next day’s workshop will use structures inspired by Kathak, Hindustani music, and Bhakti literatures to introduce improvisation as studio-based practice for a dancer, actor, or performance maker.
