An Evening Of North Indian Classical Dance

Seibi Lee In Concert at MUCID

Kathak is among the six major classical dances of India and one of the most dynamic theater arts in the world. The word Kathak is derived from katha, meaning “the art of storytelling.” It is also synonymous with the community of artists known as Kathakas whose hereditary profession it was to narrate history while entertaining. With dance, music, and mime these storytellers of ancient India would bring to life the great scriptures and epics of ancient times, especially the great Indian epics – the Mahabharata and the Ramayana – and the Puranas of Sanskrit literature.

Please join us for a Kathak Solo featuring Seibi Lee, principle dancer with Chhandam School of Kathak, accompanied by Javad Butah on tabla and Ben Kunin on Sarod.

Admission $10.00
