Saṃsāra: The Journey Through Life
Life is an unbelievable journey. As we grow and develop, we have times of incredible change, where we move from one stage of our lives to the next. While we all head down our own unique paths, we often experience the same cycles and milestones - infancy, childhood, etc. In this concert, we will strive to explore the cycle of life through artistic expression, with each piece representing different phases of our lives. This show will exhibit a combination of Indian classical dance styles like Kathak and Bharathanatyam and the Hindustani and Carnatic styles of Indian classical music.
