Colin Mascarenhas (Odissi), Kiran James (Bharatanatyam), and Sachin Lal (Kathak) interpret shared musical compositions through their distinct movement vocabularies and rhythmic sensibilities. As each artist responds spontaneously to the music, the performance reveals how different classical forms approach improvisation—through unique body language, rhythmic dialogue, and expressive interpretation—creating a dynamic conversation between tradition, individuality, and creativity. https://kirandance.com/events-engagements/event-two-w7zrh-s4xbg-nypkl-bsmde monthly 0.5 2026-04-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/617587da7eec6f761cfbf550/77c39cd4-7d97-4f4d-87cc-1faf9c09de28/KJP+-+Vidhai+Final+Flyer.png Events & Engagements - Vidhai: A Dance Tribute to the Women of CMANA - Vidhai: A Dance Tribute to the Women of CMANA Kiran James presents Vidhai, a solo Bharatanatyam performance with live music as part of CMANA’s 50th Anniversary celebration.
