Bijayini Satpathy Vibhanga (Digital World Premiere) BAC Artist Commission February 1-15, 2021

Bangalore-based dancer Bijayini Satpathy’s first choreographic endeavor, Vibhanga, is a non-narrative solo set to a reimagined traditional South Indian music score. Drawing from the curvilinear tendencies of the Odissi dance form and influenced by explorations of rhythm, the work reveals the layered complexities of the classical movement technique.
