Akaar 2017


Akaar 2017!


Join us to celebrate the emerging talent of the midlands on the 1st July 2017,  with Akaar 2017, where artists, including students from local groups and communities will unite to perform music and dance on the main stage at the old rep theatre. The performances have been supported by the teaching and guidance of artistic  and musical directors Sonia Sabri and Sarvar Sabri, with a strive to create performances that are relevant to modern audiences, with inspirations being drawn from eastern and western cultures.

The dancers and musicians due to perform at the event, will be from aged 11 years plus with various backgrounds,however they will all ultimately share a passion for dance and music being within Classical,Folk,Bharathanatyam, Bollywood, Kathak, as well as new fusion and experimental south asian arts. 

One of the dancers set to perform for the event, will be Shreya Suresh, who’s dance piece is titled 'Taandavam', which can be defined as a divine dance of creation and destruction, following the Bharatanatyam dance style. With the choreography devised by Divya Kasturi , the piece can be described as energetic, supported with the evergreen popular verse of Sri Dayananda Saraswathi -‘Bho Shambo’. She has been involved in a variety of solo performances,  with her most recent being the first round of the BBC young dancers' event in 2016. As a performer that has grown to love art, her attendance at Akaar is something she is excited about, alongside the other artists that are set to perform their own work. 

The event is set be mesmerising as dancers and musicians across the midlands come together to share their passion and love for a variety of music and dance styles. In order to secure your seat for the event, follow the link to book. It will most definetly be a event to not me missed!

Something Nu - 
Since May we have been leading a new and exciting creative project called Nu Story.  

Nu Story helps women of different backgrounds find a way to share their experiences of womanhood through Movement.

 The ladies will pass on what they’ve learnt in Kathak, mime and storytelling to women from other groups and priority areas, forming a network of sharing and letting every woman know she is not alone!
