Dancer Durga Bor to Speak at Ulysses Philomathic Library
News from the library: Next in its 2007 speaker series, “The Creative Muse: Our Local Artists and Artisans Speak Out,” the Ulysses Philomathic Library welcomes dancer and teacher Durga Bor to talk about and demonstrate the art she has pursued for many years Eastern India’s colorful and mystical Odissi dance.
Bor studied Indian dance in California and Colorado before traveling to India to study with Odissi masters Kelucharn Mohapatra and Gangadhar Pradhan. She has taught dance at Cornell and at Hobart and William Smith College, and has produced many concerts of the work of visiting Indian dancers, as well as performing her own interpretations of classical Indian works.
The talk is scheduled for Thursday, August 16th at 7:30 p.m. in the library’s Melvin Community Room. The library is located at 74 East Main Street in Trumansburg. There is no charge for the event, and as always, refreshments will be served.
