Sejal Surendra Sood will be holding a unique experience of dance through paintings, dancing, and music entitled “Dance Is” this Friday July 13th from 7pm to 8pm. Sejal is an artist and dancer who began in NYC and made her way east to Mumbai and now Bangkok to explore and experience different forms of dance. Her work dissolves boundaries of culture and religion, focusing on the universality of movement and its relevance to life.
The artist believes that dance is a complex myriad of movements occurring at every moment. It is an intense experience for the dancer and a mesmerizing experience for those present. As a trained Mathematician from MIT, Sejal gets lost in the beautiful patterns dance creates. She captures the movement in space made by the dancer through use of vibrant colors. The dancers in the paintings have a futuristic feel, while in some paintings Sejal also interprets traditional icons such as Nataraj, the Lord of Dance.

Sejal will be joined by two other dances with who she has worked with to go deeper into the spontaneity of movement. Most of the artwork displayed derives inspiration from the “jam sessions” between the artists, creating a diverse range of movements all unifying in color and form. The main piece of artwork in the exhibition is a kaleidoscopic marvel encompassing 7 years of dance experiences of the artist.
The opening will be from 7pm to 8pm on Friday July 13th at the Indian Cultural Center at the Jasmine City Building on Sukhumvit Soi 23. Paintings will remain on display until the Sunday July 22nd.
