Srishti Pathways
A triple bill of Bharatanatyam dance performed by a new generation of British-South Asian dancers.
Characterised by strong lines, geometry, symmetry, as well as highly expressive mime. Bharatanatyam is probably the most popular and versatile classical Indian dance style performed in the UK and worldwide.
Through exquisite movements, powerful rhythm and striking ensemble work, dancers present two works. These are choreographed by award-winning choreographer and Srishti’s Artistic Director Nina Rajarani MBE and Mavin Khoo.
Versatile music composer and Karnatik vocalist Y Yadavan has created the music score for this triple bill.
Srishti is a leading South Asian arts organisation based in London. They create work that combines Indian classical dance forms of Bharatanatyam and Kathak, alongside Karnatik vocals and live music.
Srishti Pathways is funded by Arts Council England and supported by Harrow Arts Centre, Harrow Council and Creative Academy, Slough.

Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet
Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet! put on fabulous, feelgood 70s and 80s disco nights for grown-ups at venues across London and the South East - and we’re delighted to welcome them back again after a funk-tastic sell out night here last year.
HSDY nights are recommended by everyone from Time Out and The Guardian to Stylist and Radio 4 and they have been described as 'Abba collides with Saturday Night Fever in a glorious mash up'.
Dapper DJ Lord Anthony will be on the decks playing all your favourite soul, funk and disco tunes and our wonderful HSDY dancer, Lady Boo will be showing you the moves to everything from Car Wash (complete with shiny rags) and I Wanna Dance with Somebody, to the 1979 Gonzales hit, Haven’t Stopped Dancing Yet, after which they take their name.
If you fancy dressing up (it’s not obligatory, but lots do) there are prizes for the best retro outfits, and free sweets and ice pops too.
In the words of Shalamar, it’s going to be 'a night to remember!'
10% profits from HSDY nights go to Cancer Research UK
