Blue Like Me(Color Me Blue) – Indian Dance Performance is a cultural event featuring global artist, Siona Benjamin, from Bombay. Siona Benjamin now lives in the US and her work reflects her background of being brought up Jewish in a predominantly Hindu and Muslim India. Siona will perform traditional Indian dances with two professional Indian dancers and South Asian Student Association(SASA) members.
Siona Benjamin collaborates with classical Indian dancers who assume the roles of mystical characters in her work and share their hybrid and transcultural identities in a performance entitled: Rang de Nila (Color Me Blue). The performance is choreographed to Indian/Jazz/Hip-hop/ Bollywood music. Benjamin will speak about her work following the performance. Admission is Free.
