A beautifully intimate crafting of dance and live music can be seen on Portland.

Sonia Sabri Company, one of Britain’s leading South Asian Dance and Music companies, will visit Royal Manor Theatre on Portland on Sunday, November 20.

Roshni, from the Persian word meaning light or brilliance, is a beautifully intimate crafting of dance and live music, transporting and uplifting the audience on a journey of joy.

World-class artists Sonia and Sarvar Sabri, alongside an ensemble of skilled musicians, present a soul-stirring, captivating combination of striking Kathak dance, with live music and vocals from a global palette of styles, driven by the bold rhythms of Tabla percussion.

Kathak is a striking movement language of virtuosic foot percussion, rapid spins, geometrical patterns, with poignant mime and gesture, all intricately woven with the live music.
