Anjali

Anjali
|
Anjali is an ethnic Desi, a Greek citizen, and a die-hard San Franciscan.
When she's not pining for her own pistachio-coloured Vespa with bright purple & orange 5-petaled flowers on its side, she works 9-2-5 as a Paralegal in downtown San Francisco, and waitresses part-time to be able to eat chicken tikka masala and garlic naan for free, on a weekly basis.
Anjali will be performing a short from Yoni Ki Baat, which has received excellent reviews from the community!
"Yoni Ki Baat is organized yearly by South Asian sisters, which is a diverse collective of progressive South Asian women dedicated to empowering our community to resist all forms of oppression through art, dialogue, conscious alliances, and grassroots political action.
Check out their website: http://www.southasiansisters.org/
According to Indolink.com: "Conceived as a theatrical performance of a cross section of the Desi woman's experience, YKB strives to create a safe space for often marginalized South Asian experiences of identity along different lines of class, race, gender, nationality, religion, sexuality, immigration, and diaspora. The pieces challenge stereotypes and reconstruct the figure of a South Asian woman. The result is an eclectic confrontation of issues from identity and labor rights to sexual violence-all critically engaged in the question of what liberation means for people of South Asian descent."

Don't we love those silly moments in Bollywood films when there is a
random song and dance routine? Rajat Dutta and friends took it upon
themselves to dress up in drag and show off the fun, frolic, and
flirtation that happens in the movies we adore. The Bollywood Babes
are Anthony, Bishop, Brian, Siobhan, and Rajat. Their team includes
Chris, Doug, Stephen, Scott, and of course, Vernon, their
choreographer. Their debut performance was in March 2008 to the song
Dhoom Machale and they continue to enchant audiences...
