Saturday 15th Sep, 8:00 pm

Seeing Differently by Dance Ihayami is a thoughtful mix of Indian classical dance, music and film depicting the the transformation of Indian classical dance from its roots to the modern stage through the eyes of an Indian dancer. Rhythmic footwork, meaningful hand gestures and facial expressions of pure Indian classical dance are explored in a contemporary setting to create an evocative and powerful dance experience.
