M-DO TTE Holliday Bazaar (Saturday December 19 2009)

Stroll down any neighbourhood in downtown Toronto and you can see, hear, smell, taste and sense the evolution of community. Here, evolution is the dialogue between the traditional and the modern, the past, the present, the future, the old and the new, each in turn informing and dancing with the other. This special WinterCity concert series is an intimate South Asian themed spectacle of music and dance, connecting ancient India with contemporary Toronto. Chhandam Dance Company members perform highly exacting Kathak north Indian classical dance in its traditional form, set in an environment of Indian splendor.

Moving…

Salve,
