The Spurlock Museum is pleased to host a concert of Odissi, a form of classical Indian dance, led by award-winning performer and teacher Sujata Mohapatra Biodata. Sujata's performances are an exhilarating combination of intensity and spontaneity. Her lyrical movements perfectly epitomize the grace and technical perfection of the Kelucharan Mohapatra gharana and her depth of expression is evocative and moving. Widely traveled over the world as a soloist and a leading member of the Srjan Dance Troupe, she has also been a leading dancer in most of her guru's great choreographies.

This performance is arranged and sponsored by Kalapriya Foundation (Pranita Jain, Artistic Director), co-sponsored by the Spurlock Museum, and supported in part by the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency.
