Traditional and modern will meet in a unique setting reminiscent of India’s 16th century royal courts as Toronto dancer, singer and choreographer Bageshree Vaze presents four new works and three remounted works. The performance will include music from her Cd Tarana, which is being released this month in India by Times Music, and the shows will also feature live music accompaniment by Vaze’s husband Vineet Vyas, Canada’s premiere tabla talent. Featured guest artists in the shows will include Toronto dancers Brandy Leary, Malgorzata Nowacka and Shilpa Save.

This event comes on the heels of the release of Vaze’s Tarana Cd release in India. The Cd features music adapted and arranged for Indian classical dance. Vaze has sung on the album and some of the selections choreographed for the November shows are also her compositions, including the tracks ‘Yoga’ and ‘Bageshree’s Thillana.’ The concert will feature the new works set to Tarana in the first half, and a traditional Kathak dance presentation accompanied by live music in the second half.

About the Film

"An astounding documentary ignited by an incendiary soundtrack."
-- Melbourne International Film Festival

"Great fun - a journey through some of the most historic moments of the diasporic musical movement."
-- Gurinder Chadha, Bend it Like Beckham

Combining music documentary and social documentary, MUTINY: Asians Storm British Music charts the meteoric rise of South Asian music in 1990s Britain and the years of cultural cross-pollination and political struggle that led up to that historic decade. Shot independently on digital video over the course of seven years, MUTINY features Asian Dub Foundation, Talvin Singh, Fun^Da^Mental and a host of other British musicians of Indian, Pakistani, and Bangladeshi descent in a dynamic mix of live performances, candid interviews and seldom-seen archival footage.

MUTINY presents the story of a generation that grew up in the 1970s and 80s, defining itself in an environment of racial violence while drawing strength from both British street culture and South Asian roots. The artists who emerged from this generation became some of the greatest innovators in British music, mixing the influences of their parents' cultures with electronica, hip-hop, reggae and punk and producing unique and powerful new sounds. The film follows these musicians from their early forays in music and activism through their negotiation of record deals and press attention during the "Asian Underground" hype of the mid 1990s, to dealing with the loss of industry backing by the end of the decade. MUTINY'S artists are undeterred, pushing forward with their music and laying the foundation for the next generation. Outspoken and uncompromising, they remain in command throughout this fast-paced and uplifting feature.

In 1997, Bald also co-founded the Mutiny club-night, which became the first monthly in the U.S. dedicated to the sounds of South Asian electronica and over the course of its six-year run, introduced New York audiences to musicians and DJs from across the diaspora.
