Showcase

The Fountain Theatre and Chitresh Das Dance Company present "Mehfil-e," a dynamic ‘Kathak’ classical dance and music series in an intimate setting. North Indian Kathak dance is characterized by lighting fast footwork and pirouettes, rhythmic interplay, and nuanced, graceful movements. No Kathak performance is complete without the rendition of a story - the sensual love between Lord Krishna and Radha, or the wrath of Lord Indra, god of rain and thunder. Second Sunday of every month at 7:30 pm: October 11; November 8; December 13, 2009; January 10, February 14, March 14, April 11, May 9, June 13, July 11, August 8, September 12, October 10, November 14, December 12, 2010.
