Kathak: Stories in Motion
Dr. Ameera Nimjee, ethnomusicologist and Kathak dancer, was recently featured in PBS' KBTC Profiles. A continuing student of Joanna de Souza, Dr. Nimjee shares her experience as an Asian American in the Pacific Northwest and her approach to Kathak, a centuries old dance form based in storytelling from Hindu mythology and the Islamic Mughal courts of India.
Video produced by Laila Kazmi and Antonio Gomez, with KBTC-PBS. Watch the profile here.
Black Lives Matter
Music making is not a neutral act. We are conscious that our performances and curricular planning can contribute to systemic injustices that enable racism to continue. We aim to better understand the cultural values that have shaped the sounds we study, create, and perform. We aim to confront those values which have excluded or diminished people of color.
We are ready to listen and to act.
