SUMMARY:Sujit Vaidya and Curtis Andrews Ensemble- A Bharatanatyam (Indian C
 lassical Dance) Recital
DESCRIPTION:Sujit Vaidya &amp\; Curtis Andrews\nA Bharatanatyam (Indian Cla
 ssical Dance) Recital\, by Sujit Vaidya with Curtis Andrews and his ensemb
 le\n\n*Please note this event is a matinee\n\nSujit Vaidya is an independe
 nt choreographer and dance artist based in Vancouver BC. His artistic choi
 ces reflect the curiosities and experiences he holds as a queer artist of 
 colour\, while deeply engaging with an art form rooted in tradition. His c
 horeographies question the narrative and relevance of non-inclusive tradit
 ional texts. He aims to create space for queer expression within the conte
 xt of Bharatanatyam and seeks collaborations with other queer artists of c
 olour.\n\nCurtis Andrews (African Chamber Ensemble) is a Canadian musician
  with global persuasions\, who specializes in South Indian percussion\, We
 st African drum/dance\, drumset\, and mbira. A percussionist/composer/teac
 her who creates music that is informed by his many years of experience wit
 h these traditions yet transcends most categories. Lulu is thrilled to inv
 ite Curtis back to Gabriola!\n\nCurtis will accompany the Bharatanatyam (I
 ndian classical dance) recital as part of Sujit’s ensemble that includes
  a vocalist\, violinist\, and nattuvanar: one who recites rhythmic syllabl
 es and emphasizes the dance steps with cymbals\, similar to the role of a 
 conductor.
