Tarana Digital Project Co-Produced with The Aga Khan Museum

Co-produced with Pratibha Arts, the Tarana Digital Project is a series  of videos showcasing works by Bageshree Vaze that celebrate the spectrum  of Kathak music and dance — from the rhythmic language to the facial  expressions and lyrical movements. It is focused on engaging audiences  with South Asian dance while equipping viewers with educational tools to  further the awareness and appreciation of the Kathak tradition — one of  the original forms of Indian classical dance influenced by the Mughal  period. 

About Us

Mission and Mandate

Pratibha Arts serves to enhance and advance the cultural fabric of Ontario and Canada through the production, education and performance of arts, often featuring influences from South Asian cultures, which are reflective of this significant demographic in Canada. Under the Artistic leadership of Bageshree Vaze, the organization’s vision is to promote artistic excellence as well as nurture future generations of artists. ‘Pratibha’ means ‘creative intelligence’ in Sanskrit. Pratibha Arts’ activities enhance the collective artistic intelligence of Canadians, but also explore new avenues and models for intelligently supporting creativity.


Based in the heart of Toronto, the company's activities have a global reach: its production of audio recordings for dance such as 'Tarana' (released as 'Khanak' through Times Music India) have added to the international field of South Asian classical arts, namely for Kathak dancers to access for performance and teaching around the world. Pratibha Arts' 'Tarana Digital Project' with the Aga Khan Museum, its 'Sadhana' initiatives for emerging dancers and musicians and its productions such as 'Global Bollywood' and 'Paratopias' are helping change the landscape of mainstage Canadian arts programming through the integration of music and dance, making South Asians and their arts visible and vibrant.
