Samita Sinha

Artist and composer Samita Sinha combines deep grounding in North Indian classical music, embodied practices, and folk and ritual music with visceral energy to create a contemporary language of voice and body, and new forms of performance and sound.

Her work has been commissioned by Asia Society, Performance Space 122, Danspace, Rubin Museum, and Gibney Dance, and has been presented by The Kitchen, Wexner Center for the Arts, REDCAT, PICA, National Sawdust and others. Collaborators include Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born, Ralph Lemon, Fiona Templeton, Sekou Sundiata, Dani ReStack, Aki Onda, Daria Fain & Robert Kocik, and Robert Ashley, as well as Sunny Jain and Grey Mcmurray, with whom she forms the “uniquely-aligned trio” (NPR) Tongues in Trees.

Sinha teaches voice extensively.
