A4 invites you to an interactive chai-making session, dance performance, and Q&A with choreographer Rohan Bhargava (A4 2020 Jadin Wong Fellow). #GupShup, Hindi for casual chit-chat or gossip, invites the community into Rohan’s studio via Zoom to make chai together, learn more about Rohan’s career development as he works to reclaim his heritage through his artistry, and watch a featured excerpt of "Aaiye (Welcome)," a performance choreographed by Rohan and performed by the Rovaco Dance Company, where he is Founder and Artistic Director. “Aaiye (Welcome),” was commissioned by the Making Moves Dance Festival 2020.

RSVP is required to attend. The first 50 households who RSVP by January 18, 2021 will receive one complementary chai-making kit sent via U.S. mail. (You must live in the U.S. and have a postal address to be eligible to receive one.)

We’ll send the Zoom meeting link to all registered attendees.
