Wednesday Noon Series Begins with Indian Dance

Dancer Sudha Bhagwat will open the Spring 2004 Wednesday Noon Series on Feb. 4 with a performance called "India: Its Culture, Costumes and Classical Dance."

Presented by the Johns Hopkins Office of Special Events, the Wednesday Noon Series is now in its 38th season of cultural programming on the Homewood campus. All events in the series are held on Wednesdays from noon to 1 p.m. in Shriver Hall.

Immersed in the ornately textured music of the sitar, Bhagwat brings the mystery and majesty of India's traditional dances to the stage. She has performed around the globe as a solo artist and in ensembles, appearing at the Kennedy Center, Shakespeare Theater, New York City Opera, embassies and schools, and collaborated with famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma on his 2002 Silk Road Project. Other events this month in the Wednesday Noon Series are "How I Wrote This Story," Feb. 11, a panel discussion by Jean McGarry, Stephen Dixon and Tristan Davies, all Writing Seminars faculty and JHU Press authors, moderated by Andy Bienstock of WYPR; "Acoustic Urban Blues," Feb. 18, a performance by Chic Street Man in observance of Black History Month; and "Maryland Basketball: Tales from Cole Field House," Feb. 25, a lecture by Paul McMullen, sports writer for The Sun and author of the JHU Press book by the same name.
