Choreographer and Artistic Director Vaswati Misra

The Dhwani Repertory is a celebration of sound and movement drawing upon the dance form kathak. Their performances are contemporary, yet resonate with a long history of cultural traditions.

The versatility and virtuosity of the Dhwani dancers owes much to the training imparted by Vaswati Misra .

The interpretation of sound and beat, strong yet lyrical movements of the body, powerful statements of the feet and subtle expressions give rise to works that have been appreciated by audiences wherever they have been performed.
