The audience will be exposed to a combination of Indian philosophy, dance and music in a language they understand best (English) supported by dynamic dance presentations and soul stirring music.
Be it RE, multicultural, interfaith exposure, a professional theatre visit or a creative incentive/nourishment, "Krishna" is an ideal choice. This introduces one of the most popular characters of the Hindu/ Indian pantheon in an audience friendly manner.
The school can design an exercise on report writing, RE, or some quiet time discussions around their visit and experience of a new culture and artform.
Alternatively if you would like more students from the school or entire school to enjoy this experience our group can perform Krishna in your school. The cost for a show will be £400 plus VAT. The school will have to provide the performance space. In case the school is interested in this, dates and details can be explored further.
Any workshops in connection to this can be conducted in the school for extra costs .
Thank you for your time and effort. Greatly value and appreciate the same.
