Dear friends, I am happy to share with you, that I will be leading an 8 week course, based on Indian dance movement, at Stage Two, at the Norwich Theatre Royal, starting on Friday the 20th September.
Anyone who has an interest in movement, story telling, or learning about a different culture, will be sure to find this a very happy experience.
If you would like to find out a bit more about the project, we are running a taster session on Friday 9th August 7pm-8.30pm. The session is free, but you will need to book your place, and there are just sixteen places.

CULTURAL CELEBRATION Taster Session | Norwich Theatre You are invited to take a glimpse into how movement can evoke a sense of nostalgia and connect us to a shared heritage

Dear Friends,
Do not miss an opportunity to experience a powerful performance, of a 'less than glorious' chapter of Colonial history. The Indigo Giant is coming to Norwich on the 29th February and 1st March. Natyapriya Dance Company's very own Sherly Joseph and Alisha Kallarackal will be in the supporting cast! We look forward to seeing you there!

NDC would like to thank all our beautiful audience who came to watch us at the Norwich Arts Centre yesterday and blessed us with their love, energy and support. We are truly grateful for every single person who comes to share our art.
Our show was called 'Ananda' , which means 'Joy'; Art should bring joy to people's lives , art should heal, empower, and make our world a better place.
The photograph I have shared is from our finale, where instead of coming together to take a bow, we ascended the stage with candles, and chanted for peace, together with our lovely audience. It was a profound moment, and many of our audience said that it allowed them to grieve for what was going on in the world, whilst also bringing a personal moment of peace.
We are donating all the proceeds from our concert to helping our brothers and sisters suffering in Gaza ❤

Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya: from darkness lead us to light. Happy Deepavali to all our friends from the Natyapriya Dance family 🪔🪔🪔

Last Saturday, we presented our latest production 'Skanda' to an almost sold out house, at the Norwich Theatre Playhouse. It was a joyful, exhilarating and beautiful expelrience to share this work with our wonderful audience from whom the energy and appreciation was palpable. I was so, so proud of what my dancers had achieved, of their hard work dedication, hours upon hours of practice, and their progress over the year shone brightly on stage!
Here are a few beautiful moments both on and off stage

NDC would like to thank all our wonderful audience, who came to our show 'Skanda' at the Norwich Playhouse last night. We danced to a full house and felt the appreciation, warmth, energy, love and support from everyone watching us. Your support and appreciation of our art, encourages our creativity and we sincerely hope that whatever we do, it will connect with our audience and move you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Anne and the dancers ❤
P.S. More beautiful moments from the show will follow, for the moment, I am resting and recovering ❤
