Mehfil
Mehfil is a performance presentation format of Kathak in which the dancer dances their repertoire with hand gestures and facial expressions. At Serendipity Arts Festival, Rani Khanum will recreate the old-world charm and authentic flavour of a bygone Lucknow, through ghazals, thumri, bandish, sher o shayari, and more.
The audience will have the opportunity to experience a dance performance that captures the atmosphere of a mehfil, akin to an intimate gathering, conveying subtle shades of romantic love through Kathak's abhinaya and the Lucknow-style Andaz.
Rani Khanam's performance also aims to shed light on the artists who have played a pivotal role in preserving our traditional dance and music traditions.
