Sonia Sabri Company is inviting Birmingham based dance and music groups to take part in a new showcase event, Akaar at mac (Midland Arts Centre) on Sunday 9th March 2014 at 5pm.
Akaar 2014 is a special performance event that aims to celebrate emerging
talent and support the interest and breadth of South Asian Arts being created
across Birmingham. Both individuals and groups are invited to present their own
work in a professional setting; the prestigious and newly refurbished, main
theatre at mac.
With the support of others, SSCo hopes to build on the
event’s success and establish an annual regional platform for aspirational
performers.
Akaar is open to dancers and musicians aged 11yrs+ and
as an intergenerational showcase, we hope to include in the programme a range

Bollywood, Kathak, or even attempting to break new ground with fusion or
experimental South Asian dance and music, we would like to hear from you.
