Kathak at the Crossroads draws nearly 2500 attendees!
Featuring over 50 dancers, musicians, and scholars from India and around the world,
the International Kathak Festival and Symposium marks history with
over 25 performances and 12 scholar presentations and panel discussions
over three days at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco
"I walked away (from the conference) with a better understanding - and quite frankly - a love for this art which allows so much individual freedom within existing parameters. It also gave me a new appreciation for classicism, the beauty which becomes possible when artistic expression- in this case music and dance - gets distilled itself into pure form." - Rita Felciano, danceviewtimes
