This fall, Mandala Arts and Culture Society is presenting two world-renowned movement practitioners in partnership with the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre. Indian bharata natyam dancer Meera Sreenarayanan is performing on October 24, and Toronto-based Kathak dancer Tanveer Alam is hitting the stage October 25.

Sreenarayanan is one of the most popular bharata natyam artists of her generation. She has performed to acclaim around the world, and this is the first time that she will present a solo in Canada. Alam, meanwhile, is a recent graduate of the Dance Arts Institute. Earlier this year, he was nominated for a Dora Mavor Moore Award for outstanding performance by an individual. This will be the first time he’s presented in B.C.

The dancers will be sharing two of the most popular Indian classical dance forms: South India’s bharata natyam, and North India’s Kathak. Both artists bring contemporary sensibilities to their presentations and chosen dance forms.

Mandala Arts and Culture has a 25-year history of presenting top Indian classical dancers in Vancouver, and runs an unparalleled bharata natyam teaching program in the city.

Tickets and more details are available here.
