Pranita Jain and Kalapriya Dancers will perform the traditional storytelling dance Bharata Natyam.  Bhavani Lee, a multi-faceted performer who has appeared in the worldwide production of Cirque du Soleil's Dralion, will be dancing Kathak with its improvisational jazz-like quality.  Sonali Mishra, and international performer who has trained esteemed Odissi dancers in India, Canada and the United States, will bring the fluidity and lyricism of Odissi.  The three dance styles will be presented in a way that blends and showcases each dance tradition for its own beauty in a flowing river of movement that brings the three streams together onstage for Tri Dhara.

This performance reflects the mission of Kalapriya:  to celebrate the cultures of India as influenced by contemporary American culture and to do so without losing the unique essence that defines the Indian Diaspora.
