Get moving with us on International Dance Day for a special performance from Indo-Canadian dancer and musician Bageshree Vaze, tabla musician Vineet Vyas, and sarangi musician Pankaj Mistra as they rhythm and rhyme their way through Kathak — one of the original forms of Indian classical dance originating from the Moghul period.
Although Kathak’s Islamic origins have been diluted over the past century as prominent artists in India have connected it more with Hindu mythological storytelling, its Islamic influences are evidenced through its movement, vocabulary, music, lyrical content, and costuming.
Co-produced by the Aga Khan Museum and Toronto-based dance company Pratibha Arts, Tarana is a video project that is focused on engaging audiences with South Asian dance, while equipping viewers with educational tools to further the awareness and appreciation of the Kathak tradition. Tarana will be presented prior to Bageshree Vaze’s performance.
