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.
