Srishti
Sevens
Sevens, a triple bill of Bharatanatyam and Kathak dance with live music from one of the UK's leading choreographers Nina Rajarani MBE.
Seven Snags: A flirtatious courtship, the choreographic equivalent of an obstacle race, this fast-paced ensemble is rhythmic, full of exciting dynamics and laced with challenging cross-rhythms.
Seven Steps: A duet by Nina Rajarani MBE and vocalist/composer Y Yadavan, based on 'saptapadi' (seven steps) With each step, the couple take a vow that is beautiful, simple and timeless.
Seven Sins: This thought-provoking, nuanced piece questions the social norms, performed by the full ensemble of seven dancers and musicians.
"Rajarani's take on classical Indian dance is invigorating"
"The highlight was the deeply moving vocal, composed and sung faultlessly by Y Yadavan"
