About Kathak Performance & Production Services
Our Approach
For us, Kathak is not just dance—it's our sadhana (deep practice) and living heritage. Every time we step on stage, we're sharing stories from the Lucknow Gharana. We don't treat art as content; it's a way of life, a parampara (tradition) passed down with care.
What We Offer
- Choreography and direction for both solo and group Kathak shows, rooted in authentic Lucknow Gharana Kathak choreography.
- Original productions, from big festivals like our Varshik Utsav to tight, expressive solo acts in our Tarkash series.
- Everything is handled—concept to
manch(stage): creative direction, stagecraft, and live music Kathak stage show. - Our own
shishyas(students) perform, trained in the same tradition.
How We Work
- We combine abhinay (expression) and nritta (pure dance) to tell stories—sometimes grand, sometimes quiet, but always real.
- Every show is built with original compositions and authentic technique. No shortcuts.
- All performances use live musicians. That’s how Kathak feels alive.
What to Expect
- Storytelling Kathak dance production, with each piece carrying the soul of our art.
- Complete cultural evenings curated by us—big auditoriums or small intimate venues, we handle the details.
- If you’re after something flashy or super commercial, honestly, this might not be for you. We’re about purity and depth, not shortcuts.
With us, you get tradition, dedication, and a bit of raw nerve on stage.
