Sharing South Asian movement at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute (OSAI)

 

For one week this June, we were honored to be a part of the faculty at the Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute (OSAI). Ajna Director and two of our talented teaching artists spent the week introducing high school students to Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Garba, Bhangra and Bollywood dance. This prestigious arts intensive allowed us to share South Asian dance and culture with passionate high school students. The Oklahoma Summer Arts Institute (OSAI) is an intensive 2-week residential academy that provides professional training to artistically advanced Oklahoma High School Students, including graduating seniors, in the visual, literary, and performing arts. OSAI is tuition-free for every accepted student, ensuring Oklahoma’s most talented high school artists have access to arts education of the highest caliber, regardless of financial means.
