In honour of Pride Month, we are excited to present Dr. Narthaki Nataraj (she/her), an award-winning transwoman & Bharatanatyam artist as part of our Professional Dance Series! Narthaki celebrates the power of the transgender identity as it intersects within the world of traditional dance & classical art. The audience is welcomed to participate through conversation with the artist and enjoy an expert display of Indian classical dance with music accompaniments.

Presented by Upasana the Spirit of Dance, with special thanks to our sponsors Canadian Heritage, Ottawa Arts Council, City of Ottawa, and Booster Rocket, and with support from the Raju-Richstone and Bellefleur-MacAdam families.
