Inviting all for a Dance evening "Impressions" - a double bill presentation by two contemporary dance artists: Chandana Sarma (from The School of Terence Lewis Academy, Mumbai) and Durgakoteshwar Rao (from The School of Attakalari, Bangalore).

The performances use dance and movement in a theatrical manner to convey two chosen themes.

Performance 1: "peek-a-boo" is about realities that exist beyond our knowledge. Performance 2: "Alone" is about expressing emotions through a body devoid of a face.

All are welcome.
