Sonia Sabri Company is a leading UK contemporary South Asian Dance company that takes a fresh approach to a classical art form, Kathak, creating productions inspired by Indian and UK culture, and the rich possibilities that arise when they meet.

The piece blends traditional kathak vigour with hip-hop's laid back groove; complex classical rhythms with beatboxing's verbal dexterity, and rap with traditional kavitts.

Sonia creates a visual and aural kalidescope alongside musicians from Indian classical and hip-hop backgrounds, celebrating the musical potential of the human body with verbal percussion, body slaps, clicks, claps and stamps.

  • Really looking forward to seeing this at Salisbury Arts Centre this year!

  • Just to add... this is a work in progress performance, arising from a phase 1 R&D at Choredrome at The Place, 2009.
