2021–2022 Artist in Residence:
Bijayini Satpathy

Hailed by the New Yorker as "a performer of exquisite grace and technique," Bijayini Satpathy is this year's MetLiveArts Artist in Residence. After 25 years as a principal dancer with the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble of Bangalore, Satpathy has created works that challenge the traditions of classical Indian dance.

During her residency, Satpathy will collaborate with a range of artists and Met curators and explore unexpected areas of the Museum's collection, with a special focus on Modern and Contemporary Art.

Open rehearsals are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts.
