Our Work

Bodissi seeks to empower women through several initiatives:

• Bodissi: original choreography and dance performance by Sitara

• Postures for Body-Positivity: A Visual Guide

  • This guide reinterprets the karanas as embodiments of strength; using 10 postures inspired by Odissi dance to help women feel empowered. This book is supported by workshops to teach the karana vocabulary with new, feminist meanings 

• Bodissi Storybook: the Bodissi Storybook takes a traditional narrative from Jayadeva’s Gita Govindam and reframes the narrative from a feminist perspective
