A COMMUNITY group will showcase its talents in an afternoon of Indian classical music and dance on Saturday, November 12.

Margam will demonstrate the artistic pursuit of Bharatanatyam, a South Indian dance style. The event will also feature Odissi, an elegant dance style from East India, performed by the dynamic duo of Gairika Mathur and Dr Sutapa Biswas.

The event is put on by the Kalakunj group, which conducts workshops at Reading primary schools and community events to enrich people’s understanding of culture and heritage.

The group is run by Ananya Chaterjee, who was awarded a talent scholarship from the Centre for Cultural Resources and Training, New Delhi between 1988 and 1994, before settling in the UK in 2000.

Alongside her administrative role at the University of Oxford’s research services, Ananya takes a hands-on approach to training children and adults in the basic skills of Indian classical dance in Reading and Basingstoke.

The showcase takes place at 3sixty, Reading University Students’ Union from 3pm-6.30pm.
