Ishti Collective opens their creative process to attendees, first by observing their rehearsal process, and then by engaging in a movement session guided by the artists. This program aims to demystify Bharatanatyam and illustrate its contemporary relevance, with the movement session allowing participants to experience the dance's physicality and expressiveness firsthand. A Q&A dialogue with the artists will end the program, which will serve to inform the collective’s work and foster a communal exchange of ideas and perspectives.

ASL is provided for this event.
