Dancers From India Perform At Nc High

Fri., Aug. 7, 1998

A dance-drama company from southern India will bring a centuries-old dance to Spokane for a performance Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the North Central High School Auditorium.

The Kuchipudi Dance-Drama Company will stage “Ardha Nareeshwara,” a classical dance-drama from India.

The two-hour performance by more than 30 dancers and musicians tells the legends of the Ganges River in India through music, dance and narration. A translator will narrate in English.

The Kuchipudi troupe is based in Madras, India, and is associated with a performance academy there. Admission is $10, $5 for students. The appearance is sponsored by the South Asia Cultural Association. For information call Sreedharani Nandagopal at 467 5558.
