Toronto, ON (April 2012) – Indian dance and contemporary movement join forces in an exciting new production, ‘Damaru|Mudra’, premieres at Toronto’s Enwave Theatre, Harbourfront Centre (231 Queens Quay West), May 25 and 26, 2012 at 8 pm.

A part of Harbourfront Centre’s 2011|12 Next Steps Dance Season, ‘Damaru|Mudra’ is a dance- music-theatre production exploring the theme of ‘Tandava|Lasya’ or the masculine vs. feminine in Indian culture.

The feminine is featured through lyrical movement and mudra, or the stylized hand gestures unique to Indian dance.
