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.
