ArtSpring, in collaboration with Made in BC Dance on Tour, presents a Zoom talk by dancer and educator Ahalya Satkunaratnam next Wednesday (April 7), followed by a Q&A.

Satkunaratnam--who holds a PhD in Critical Dance Studies from the University of California Riverside--will speak on how activism, academics, and art-practice intersect in a conversation with ArtSpring’s dance-outreach coordinator Aina Yasué.

Also discussed will be Satkunaratnam's dance project Usha/Agni/Vyvastha (Dawn/Fire/Order), and her new book Moving Bodies, Navigating Conflict: Practicing Bharata Natyam in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The free event starts at 6:30 pm Pacific time and you can find more info here.
