Erasing Borders: Festival of Indian Dance, August 18-21 2008
  
PERFORMERS   
  Sudarshan Belsare (Boston, MA)
 

A Trans performer, Belsare is perpetuating the classical tradition of Stri-Vesham (Female Impersonation) where the target gender identity of a woman's psyche and body is the medium to communicate Nayaki Bhava (the voice of the female protagonist) in the traditional Bharatanatyam repertoire. Belsare is particularly interested in keeping the work bold, edgy and full of risks and remains committed towards extending critical thought in the understanding and treatment of traditional Bharatanatyam in North America. Belsare holds a Master's degree in Art Education from the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston MA. Currently, as a museum educator at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem MA, Belsare's work has been featured at the Emerson College (Boston), Boston University, Massachusetts College of Art, Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), Worcester Art Museum, Tufts University (MA), Harvard University (MA), Wesleyan University (CT), The New School (NYC), Wellesley College (MA), to name a few.
