Sadhana/Tarana

Sadhana/Tarana aims to unite legacy and future, curated by Pratibha Arts and featuring emerging and senior artists in Kathak dance and Indian classical vocal music. ‘Sadhana’ means intense dedication and ‘Tarana’ is a song for dance. Sadhana/Tarana seeks to highlight the strong interaction between dance and music in South Asian culture, demonstrated by emerging and established artists in Canada and the U.S. who demonstrate mastery of their craft. The event will honour legacy in South Asian arts, marking the recent passing of Kathak legend Pandit Birju Maharaj and Canadian Bharatha Natyam pioneer Menaka Thakkar.
