The Drishtikon Dance Foundation (double bill)

Dancer and choreographer Aditi Mangaldas's company presents a powerful and beautiful double bill. Kathak loosely translates as ‘the art of storytelling’ and features hypnotically intricate footwork, high energy pirouettes and complex rhythmic patterns of beats.

Uncharted Seas (extract)

Uncharted Seas takes you to the heart of classical Kathak. Dancers weave in and out of the shadows with grace, poise and a stunning sense of rhythm. The search for the intangible, for God, truth, beauty, love and freedom, is the essence of Uncharted Seas. Dressed in traditional costumes, the sounds of the ghunghroo (ankle bells) meld with the live music, creating a distinct percussive beat that adds a unique flavour to every performance.

Timeless (extract)

Timeless moves furthest from the classical Kathak roots of the company. Entrancing, distinctive and exhilarating, Timeless utilises a totally new contemporary movement vocabulary and Mangaldas’s choreography draws you in to a compelling and many textured abstract world.
