Free dance workshops with Harbour House and Sonia Sabri Company

As part of this year's Kingsbridge Fair Week celebrations, Harbour House is working with Sonia Sabri Company, the UK’s leading contemporary South Asian dance company for a day of traditional Indian dance events!

Harbour House is delighted to offer two free dance workshops to local families and young people in the morning. We warmly invite families and young people in the community to take part in these introductory workshops and discover the expressive, rhythmic art of Kathak Dance. No prior experience is required.

As well as the workshops Sonia Sabri Company will take the main stage at 4:15pm, performing their outdoor production ‘Mughal Miniatures: The Awakening’, a vibrant and visually captivating performance that draws inspiration from. traditional Indian and Persian miniature painting. The performance, which combines contemporary movement with classical Kathaka dance won’t be one to miss!

Harbour House will also be open all day for anyone to visit. The gallery will be open for visitors to see the latest exhibition ‘Jai Chuhan: Dancer’. This exhibition is the first solo exhibition in the South West by Indian-born, British artist Jai Chuhan, bringing together new and existing works that explore the body, emotion, and movement.⁠

Harbour House Kitchen will have offers throughout the day, with healthy options to eat in or easily pick up and take away to enjoy the fair week activities in the town square.
