Kaustavi Sarkar, an Indian-American assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, has won a US$10,000 grant from National Endowment to bridge gaps between India’s two famous dance forms, Odissi and Bharatanatyam.
Sarkar will work on the project Shilpa Natanam: Creating New Vocabulary for Indian Dance in association with Maya Kulkarni, a New York-based choreographer.
