This dynamic conversation between dancers explores how the unique collaboration of these exceptional artists transcends continents, generations, cultures, and communities. Together, they create a new and distinct kind of dance. Individually in their home communities of India and the United States, each dancer works to preserve their individual dance traditions. Pandit Chitresh Das has received numerous awards and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation, among others. He ultimately sees art as a service to society and devotes time to teaching children in the slums of India, the Blind Opera of Calcutta, and teaching empowerment and self-awareness through dance to the daughters of sex workers in Calcutta, India.
