She/her

Brinda Guha (she/her) identifies as a non-disabled, caste-privileged, cisgender and queer South-Asian American based on Lenape land, colonially known as Manhattan, NYC, and is a trained Bessie-nominated Kathak and Contemporary Indian dancer.

During training and performing for years in the Kathak (Malabika Guha) & Manipuri (Kalavati+ Bimbavati Devi) dance disciplines, as well as Flamenco (Carmen de las Cuevas; Dionisia Garcia) and Contemporary Fusion vocabularies, she co-founded Kalamandir Dance Company in 2010. She's choreographed for many national stages and self-produced original feature-length dance productions which earned her artist residencies at Dixon Place (2018) and Dancewave (2019) to continue to develop work.

Now, she is represented by CESD Talent Agency and is pursuing artistic direction, performance and arts education. She trains in Kathak, Manipuri and Contemporary. Brinda actively dances with dynamic all-female multicultural percussive trio Soles of Duende, featuring Flamenco (Arielle Rosales), Tap (Amanda Castro), and Kathak (Guha).

Her dream of having art meet activism was realized when she created WISE FRUIT NYC, a seasonal live arts installment (est 2017) dedicated to the feminine divine and honoring select women-led organizations, and she is the lead researcher and curator of NCCAkron’s How People Move People Podcast, Season 4.

She is also the Senior Producing Coordinator for dance service organization Dance/NYC, and an administrator with ADC Consulting LLC. Visit www.brindaguha.com for more info.
