Sadhana/Tarana

Pratibha Arts presents ‘Sadhana/Tarana,’ featuring artists in Kathak dance and North Indian classical vocal music from across North America. ‘Sadhana’ means intense dedication. In the tradition of Indian classical arts, students undergo years of intense practice and training in order to achieve mastery of forms such as Kathak dance.
‘Tarana’ is a song for dance, and the event highlights the strong interaction between dance and music in Indian culture. Featured artists include, Vinay Bhide, Vineet Vyas, Bageshree Vaze, Pankaj Mishra, Utkarsha Kale, Rohit Kalsekar, Ketaki Sathe, Anindita Neogy, Tarika Nath, Shivani Badgi and Ariaki Dandawate.
Pratibha Arts is committed to increasing visibility of what are considered culturally-diverse styles in the Canadian arts ecology. Pratibha Arts is honoured to present this production in the home of Native Earth Performing Arts — in a moment of Truth and Reconciliation, we stand in solidarity with First Nations peoples and cultures who have taken care of this land and offered us this space on which to live and perform.
