SAEDA Residency at Wesleyan University (Sept 29- Oct 3, 2022)

The truly one-of-a-kind South Asian Experimental Dance Collective (SAEDA) was in residency at Wesleyan University, exploring shared, divergent artistic processes and disrupted representations of South Asian bodies in the diaspora. 

SAEDA members include Parijat Desai (New York), Sujata Goel (Harrisburg, PA), Meena Murugesan (Los Angeles, CA), Lionel Popkin (Los Angeles), Pramila Vasudevan (St. Paul, MN) and me.

Parijat, Lionel, Meena and Pramila showcased their radically progressive visual art.

Sujata led an exhilarating Bollywood Dance master class and Parijat facilitated a stirring community-led outdoor workshop inspired by the Garba circle dance of Gujarat.
