About Continuum 

Continuum immerses audiences in India’s rich classical dance and music traditions.  It shines a spotlight on a new generation of young artists and tradition bearers who bring a contemporary voice and new dimension to these ancient art forms. Continuum presents kathak dance and Hindustani classical music in their most authentic forms – that of the traditional solo. Unproduced, highly interactive, and playfully improvisatory, the solo invites audiences to enjoy North Indian classical dance and music in its full depth and breadth.
