Anurekha Ghosh & Company presents a double Bill - Convince Me and Noor Light at the Civic Theatre, Chelmsford.

Conceived by award-winning dancer Anurekha and performed by international dancers and musicians, Noor Light is the meeting point of acrobatic martial arts and contemporary Kathak dance.

It traces the journey of a seeker, moving from doubt to light, and incorporating the songs and lyrical rythmns and mystical poetry inspired by Hinduism, Christianity, and Sufism [Islam].

In Convince Me, Anurekha seamlessly blends classic kathak with diverse musical genres from Persia to the Sufi music. In this collaboration, dancers and musicans bridge the gap between East and West.

This multi-layered exuberance of Indian classical kathak, a dose of flamenco, and a touch of ballet are theaded together.

Anurekha won the Asian Woman Achievement Award for Arts and Culture 2007.
Anurekha Gosh and her company appear at Chelmsford Civic for one night on Sunday, September 14 at 7.45pm. Tickets price £14 are available from the box office, phone 01245 606505
