SUFI:ZEN – PART OF DE-STRESS FEST
1st May – Central Park – 2pm – Free
Sufi:Zen
Sufi:Zen is an intimate, soul-infusing dance experience that unites the stillness of Zen meditation with the whirling motion of Sufi Dervishes. Visualising a landscape that extends from Persia to Japan, Sufi:Zen exists in a world of contrasts – of ice and fire.
It uses dance styles, of kathak and western contemporary techniques set score by Shrikanth Sriram. This performance reflects Akademi’s long-standing reputation for presenting modern perspectives on traditional South Asian dance forms in unusual and distinct spaces. Akademi are the UK’s leading South Asian Dance charity.
Stick around after the show for some activities and performances, including a free Bollywood Dance workshop at 3.30pm. All ages and abilities welcome.
