The mission of the Erasing Borders: Festival of Indian Dance is to present Indian dance through its multiplicity of forms and expressions. We wish to engage artists and audiences in exploring a range of aesthetics, issues and perspectives, as we celebrate the rich tradition of Indian dance and nurture exciting new dimensions developing in Indian, American and global contexts. The festival brings together dancers sharing movement, heritage and inspiration from the Indian subcontinent. It features artists from India and the South Asian Diaspora and the presentations range from traditional classical repertoire to contemporary, modern and post-modern works that are inspired by India or an Indian dance vocabulary.
