Asian arts go from Bradford to Harrogate

On February 19, April 30 and June 25 stories from Hindu mythology and Jewish folklore will come alive, in a celebration of Indian classical dance, storytelling, song and traditional music.

The performances will be in the form of interactive lecture demonstrations, during which the dance styles and instruments will be introduced and explained in English.

The formal hand gestures and intricate facial expressions said to be India's oldest form of classical dance will be accompanied by live South Asian music. Kala Sangam are regarded as Bradford's leading South Asian arts company and had a hugely successful season last year. A video trailer can be seen by finding the show dates on the www.harrogatetheatre.co.uk website.
