In the radiant month of Diwali, a celebration of Light over Darkness and the pursuit of Knowledge over Ignorance, four classically trained dancers embark on a journey to seek the essence of their dance.

‘One Dha at a Time,’ is an experimental dance show where the dancers challenge the conventional norms and inherited practices of Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Manipuri, and Odissi. Through their dance, they share personal discoveries, questions, and challenges they face as contemporary practitioners of traditional dance styles.

Four performance pieces by four dancers :

Prarambh – Jyoti Manral
We begin with flowers – Maryam Shakiba
Dvidehi – Debanjali Biswas
(Don’t) Tell Me What Bharatanatyam Is – Kavya Iyer

SAA-uk cordially invites you to join us at Seven Arts for a show that promises to bring you closer to the contemporary expressions of Indian dance forms, one dha at a time.
