Date: Tuesday, April 10, 2018
Time: 7 – 9 p.m.
Location: Syracuse University’s Hendricks Chapel
It is the season that brings hope and optimism, that celebrates rebirth and rejuvenates the soul. It is also a time to
rejoice and marvel at the kaleidoscopic and vibrant colors of nature as well as serving as a timely reminder of its
robust strength.
The dancers will perform classical Kathak and present an innovative and dynamic piece, Together We Can, which
has toured in India and Europe extensively. This new work was inspired by choreographer Sujata Banerjee’s
response to global climate change. Mother Earth’s distress is conveyed through the imaginative Kathak
movements with an original composition from talented UK based musician Shammi Pithia.
The Sujata Banerjee Dance Company (SBDC) is at the forefront of promoting and developing South Asian dance
in the United Kingdom and internationally. The performance is sponsored by the South Asia Center, Moynihan
Institute of Global Affairs, Hendricks Chapel, School of Education, SPIC MACAY, Department of Religion and
Office of Multicultural Affairs.
