Classic Dance from Hindu Monasteries at the Center on the Hill!

Join us for INDIA - Sattriya: Classic Dance from Hindu Monasteries on Monday June 17th in Widener Hall from 10am-11am!

COST: FREE

In this workshop, Madhusmita Bora, a performer of the Sattriya Dance Company, takes you on a journey through a 600-year-old dance tradition. This dance was only preserved, nourished, and practiced by monks in a little island in Northeast India until recently. You will be exposed to stories from Hindu mythology through the dance and will also learn about the monks and their lives. There will be masks, costumes and props on display. Along the way, residents will be led in movement exercises and will learn related vocabulary of this ancient Indian tradition.

Presented by special arrangement with the Penn Museum
