  Abhinaya Dance Company, an Indian classical dance company founded by Artistic Director Mythili Kumar celebrates its 45th anniversary on Sunday, August 3rd, 3 pm at Canada College in Redwood City.

The concert titled Natya Dhara, the unceasing flow of dance, traces the progression of the classical South Indian style of Bharatanatyam, from its traditional roots to its current expression in the United States, through the extensive repertoire of the Abhinaya Dance Company. The legacy derived from the temple dancers and traditional gurus of the art has flourished in this new environment, and given rise to collaborations, experimentation and innovative performances by the Company.

Highlights of the anniversary concert include:
- Performances by Company dancers and alumni, showcasing Mythili Kumar and Rasika Kumar's choreography and iconic pieces from past productions.
- Panel discussions exploring the evolution and impact of Bharatanatyam.
- Live music by acclaimed artists: Asha Ramesh, Shanthi Narayan, N. Narayan, Srikanth Chary, Mythili Kumar, and Malavika Walia.
