Upcoming Events

Nazariyā: The Dancer’s Gaze
A Guided Tour of The Mashrabiya Project at The Center for Art in Wood

Join us for an exciting evening with Usiloquy Dance Designs for a magical tour of The Mashrabiya Project: Seeing Through Space. During the tour, dancers take creative agency, complementing and relating to the individual works while expanding on the direct and implied interpretations of the exhibition through the vocabulary of the South Asian dance style Bharatantyam. The choreography by Shaily Dadiala ranges from pieces in praise of a lotus-eyed goddess to 15th-century poet Kabir’s call to seek the divine within, culminating in a joyful, exuberantly rhythmic finale. This unique event is one that you will not want to miss.
