Half Of Me, which is based on Satinder Kaur Chohan’s play of the same title, also reflects a similar storyline about motherhood from a famous Indian epic, Mahabharata.

Swati Dance Company, who were last seen at The Dukes in September, are a South Asian Dance Company based in the North West.

They aim to make the Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam more accessible to wider audiences including young people and families.
