Roshni (from the Persian word meaning light or brilliance) is an intimate crafting of
dance and live music, inspired by the stories and experiences of everyday people. Made
up of three distinctive and engaging dance pieces: The Call, The Light and The Wave,
Roshni explores the highs and lows of life today and gives us hope for the future.
The audience are taken on an emotional journey, through wordless storytelling,
percussive dance and warm, humorous and upbeat audience interaction. You’ll be
amazed at the different landscapes our musicians can create through an incredible
spectrum of global music styles. This feel-good show is a treat for the senses and
beautifully demonstrates the connection between music and dance.
Just as improvisation is the heartbeat of jazz, improvisation is considered a core part of
a solo Kathak dance performance – consequently no performance of Roshni is ever the
same! It is the perfect first introduction to those who have never experienced South
Asian dance and something quite different for connoisseurs. Roshni is deeply moving,
wonderfully uplifting and gloriously entertaining.
