NEW YORK, November 4, 2026 — Cambodian classical dancer Sophiline Cheam-Shapiro opens the program with a dance demonstration, followed by a conversation with acclaimed Odissi dancer Bijayini Satpathy on how gender is expressed through movement and dance traditions. Satpathy explores how gender is expressed through Odissi, a classical Indian dance form shaped by feminine traditions and male lineages, drawing on themes from her solo dance work Trikāyā and examining how movement can express identities beyond rigid gender binaries.
