Roshni (from the Persian word meaning light or brilliance) is an intimate crafting of dance and live music, inspired by the stories and experiences of everyday people. Made
up of three distinctive and engaging dance pieces: The Call, The Light and The Wave,
Roshni explores the highs and lows of life today and gives us hope for the future.
The audience are taken on an emotional journey, through wordless storytelling,
percussive dance and warm, humorous and upbeat audience interaction. You’ll be
amazed at the different landscapes our musicians can create through an incredible
spectrum of global music styles. This feel-good show is a treat for the senses and
beautifully demonstrates the connection between music and dance.
Just as improvisation is the heartbeat of jazz, improvisation is considered a core part of
a solo Kathak dance performance – consequently no performance of Roshni is ever the
same! It is the perfect first introduction to those who have never experienced South
Asian dance and something quite different for connoisseurs. Roshni is deeply moving,
wonderfully uplifting and gloriously entertaining.
Sonia Sabri is a multi-award winning and foremost Kathak dancer of her generation. Sarvar Sabri is an internationally renowned and award-winning Tabla maestro and
composer. He regularly works across artforms and for theatre, TV, radio and film. Sonia was associate choreographer for The Opening Ceremony of Commonwealth
Games 2022. Sonia Sabri Dance Company takes its work to some of the largest venues and festivals including The Royal Festival Hall, Birmingham Hippodrome, The Lowry, WOMAD, Latitude, and tours internationally. We are delighted to welcome them to the Priory for this intimate and atmospheric performance of ROSHNI.
