Sukanya Burman Dance

10/22/2026

Your Thursday plans could use a little mystery.

Red light, suspended fabric, and a world you’ll want to step inside.

Tonight at Art in Flux: Season 3 Parisha Rajbhandari performs in-between, an immersive performance installation developed in collaboration with Juliet Irving.

With water as their guide, the artists explore identity, language, ancestral knowledge, and the softness and care that carry us through life’s unsettled “in-between” moments.

You’re invited into the process, too. Join the artist for participatory art-making. Stay back for the artist talk. Ask questions and be a part of the creative process.

No dancing required. Though you may be tempted.

TONIGHT • Thursday, October 22 • 7 PM
📍 2nd Space | 106 E 2nd St, Jamestown, NY

Tickets: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/art-in-flux-season--3

Bring a friend. Tell a friend to tell a friend. Very limited seating, save your spot!

Photos from JDF 2026 have arrived!

A huge thank you to for sharing his talent and capturing so many beautiful moments from this year’s Jamestown Dance Festival.

It’s hard to believe it has already been a month since these incredible artists were here in Jamestown, filling our stages, studios, and community spaces with such powerful work.

We’ll be sharing more photos in the days and weeks ahead, along with clips from each performance, so stay tuned.

Hi SBD friends! Here is a cool opportunity being offered by one of the schools in the community to bring dance education / choreography into the schools - which is so great to see.

As some of you may already be aware, we have been involved in some of the afterschool programs over the past couple of years, providing dance education to kids, many of which these classes being their first/only exposure to dance education. So if any of you reading this have been looking for, or interested in other ways of helping cultivate the next generation of dancers in this county, this opportunity in Westfield could be a great way of contributing to that cause! Full disclosure - Westfield has been one of the schools we have partnered with for these afterschool dance classes, and those kids have been absolutely loving every second of it. Clearly an appetite among the youth in Westfield for dance!

Do you have a background in dance and a passion for helping students shine on stage?

Westfield Academy & Central School is looking for a Choreographer for our upcoming school musical. This is a great opportunity to help create memorable performances while working with talented students and staff.

✅ Flexible evening and weekend schedule

I had an amazing time performing for The Rockwell Museum 's 50 year celebration curated by Mark D. Schmidt last week in Corning NY.

I responded to Michael Naranjo' s sculpture "The Last Dance". Michael's story and artistry is unparalleled.

So grateful to all artists and staff involved for creating this opportunity and space for us.
