Upaj: Improvise – Performance & Dance | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Upaj: Improvise follows two dance masters—the late Pandit Chitresh Das, Kathak Indian dance guru, and African-American freestyle tap star Jason Samuels Smith—as they join forces for an East-meets-West artistic collaboration, “India Jazz Suites.” Bridging generations, races, cultures, and artistic styles, the two form a special bond in the quest to preserve their respective dance traditions.

The event will start with a 30-45 minute Kathak dance performance by Antara Bhardwaj, followed by a screening of the documentary film Upaj: Improvise. The event will conclude with a 15-20 minute Q&A with the filmmaker Antara Bhardwaj. Watch the trailer.
