Lahore’s World Performing Arts Festival in Full Swing

via www.dawn.com

World Performing Arts Festival continues to draw spectators at the Alhamra Cultural Complex with its multi-coloured performances in dance, music, films, theatre and puppet shows. On the fourth day on Tuesday, a dance troupe from India held the audience spell bound with its splendid performance of Bharata Natyam. The audience also appreciated ‘Dance of East’ by Helene Erikson who has studied dance ethnology at the University of California. ‘The Core’ from Norway is probably one of the most energetic and rough jazz bands at the moment which draws spontaneous applause from an appreciative audience.
