Indian Dance Centre to present creative art production ‘Ramayana’
With 50 dancers in tow, the Indian Dance Centre will present ‘Ramayana’, an epic mythological creative art production, this April. Complete with dance, drama, exotic costumes, jewellery, props, lights and special effects, the performers will enact the life story of Lord Rama, throwing light on his/her duties and responsibilities in various roles as father, mother, son, daughter, husband, wife, brother, sister, friend, master, and teacher.
“The vision behind ‘Ramayana’ is to give the youth today an opportunity to be aware of Indian heritage, and to understand the importance of Ramayana in our lives. It is also a humble endeavour to take the creative art form to its next level,” say Raghavan Nair and Poornima Sharma of the Indian Dance Centre.
The cast comprises 50 dancers from the age of 1 year to 66 years. Directed and choreographed by Raghavan, who also acts in it, Poornima, while also involved in choreography, is in charge of production and re-mastering the Ramayana concept.
Jewellry designing and costumes are by Nisha Nair, Poonam Singh & Madhu Sharma, while Vishal Sharma handles re-mastering Ramayana music and other sounds effects. Sahil Sood’s Dream Achievers Production house is in charge of marketing and promotions, Anil Sharma in charge of stage and props co-ordination, with Fareha and Raghavan Nair in charge of hair and make-up. Abdul takes care of lights, sound and effects, and Dream Palace, the decorations, while Nitin Madan will be the host for evening in April.

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
