Photograph of Bharatanatyam performance, featuring musicians and three young girls, at an event hosted at The Cultch's Historic Theatre, then East Vancouver Cultural Centre, in Vancouver, B.C.
Bharatanatyam, a classical dance style of India, is indigenous to the Tamil Nadu region and prevalent in southern India. Bharatanatyam serves the expression of Hindu religious themes and devotions. Bharatanatyam was originally performed exclusively by female temple dancers and was not brought to the stage for public performance until about 1930. A vital tradition of Bharatanatyam is a graduation performance, called Arangetram, in which graduates showcase their talents.
For over 50 years, The Cultch has been a cultural hub in the heart of East Vancouver. They have three theatres: the Historic (previously known as the East Vancouver Cultural Centre), the Vancity Culture Lab, and the York. They have hosted a plethora of performances, including theatre, dance, music, circus, and visual arts.
