A GORGEOUS EVENING OF DANCE, RITUAL, AND COMMUNITY
We are thrilled to announce this live performance and gathering in the Seattle area. All are welcome to come experience ‘Katha’ – a Kuchipudi dance recital performed by Sreelakshmy Govardhanan, a renowned Kuchipudi artist. She is the embodiment of art that knows no bounds. She is a trained psychologist who is at the forefront of the revival of Indian traditional dance in the twenty-first century. Every dollar raised through ticket sales and donations will be used to fund SDI’s educational programs.
This event is presented by Spiritual Directors International and is offered to the entire community. Everyone is invited to join us!
We hope many of our Pacific Northwest SDI Members will join us in attendance for an extraordinary, beautiful performance by this acclaimed Kuchipudi dancer!
