Dance Lesson | Communicating through Dance: Contemporary Workshop


This immersive workshop, led by choreographer Elodie Dufour, invites dancers into the physical and emotional world of her residency work UNspoken—a contemporary piece exploring silence, identity, and the lasting impact of words we carry but never express. The session begins with a guided warm-up designed to connect breath, body, and internal awareness, followed by learning a phrase directly from the work. Dancers will explore the movement through layered performance tasks, focusing on intention, resistance, vulnerability, and release.

Dance Performance | Literature & Arts Festival: Classical Indian Music & Dance


Experience an evening of Indian classical music and dance at the 2026 World Literature and Arts Festival!  An evening born from the idea that the great works of literature were never meant to stay static on the shelves, the venue brings classic works of Indian literature onto the stage to kick off the 2026 World Literature and Arts Festival. The performance will reimagine stories and verses through a dialogue between two of India’s profound classical dance traditions. Kathak dancer Neeharika Tummala brings the story driven art of Kathak, with her performance capturing fast footwork balanced by subtle, conversational nuances that define the North Indian tradition, turning literary metaphors into rhythmic reality. In a contrasting performance, Bharatanatyam dancer Sloka Iyengar presents the grounded, sculptural power of her dance form which is rooted in South Indian tradition. A live musical ensemble featuring esteemed tabla player Karamat Khan Kalavant, a passionate and dynamic percussionist who is trained in the Purab style of tabla. Together, these artists will create a sensory experience that honors the vibrant spirit of Indian classical arts tradition through storytelling.
