Explore connection and devotion in this Kathak duet blending Jaipur and Lucknow Gharanas with a fresh, unified perspective.
Exploring themes of connection, devotion, and surrender, this Kathak presentation delves into the expressive depth of the classical dance form. Through a blend of solo and duet works, the performance reflects on the richness of two distinct dance gharanas—Jaipur and Lucknow—and their shared potential for innovation.
Barkha Patel, Artistic Director of Barkha Dance Company, and Toronto-based choreographer Tanveer Alam bring their unique diasporic perspectives to this collaboration. Together, they craft a performance that honors the tradition of Kathak while embracing its dynamic evolution.
Ibaadat invites audiences to experience the timeless beauty of Kathak, celebrating how differences in training and style can come together to create a unified devotion to the art. The presentation highlights the deep human connections fostered by dance, offering a poignant reminder that while the ways we surrender may vary, the spirit of dedication remains universal.
