The amphitheatre at the School of Performing, Visual and Creative Arts at Alliance University transformed into a vibrant sanctuary of tradition, rhythm, and storytelling. With an atmosphere thick with anticipation, the renowned Sanka Samudi Dance Group from Colombo, Sri Lanka graced the stage, delivering an evening of captivating performances that seamlessly wove ancient Kandyan heritage with contemporary creative movement.

Comprising eight distinguished dancers—each an accomplished contributor to Sri Lanka’s cultural services—the group enthralled audiences with their precision, unity, and expressive depth. Their performance highlighted the beauty of synchronicity and emotion, breathing new life into time-honoured folk traditions and modern interpretations alike.

This unique event, organized in collaboration with the International Arts and Cultural Foundation, Bangalore, embodied more than artistic excellence; it became a celebration of cross-cultural dialogue and shared heritage. The exchange served as a reminder of art’s profound power to transcend borders and bring communities together through a universal language of movement and music.

Among the distinguished guests were Dr. Anjali Mishra, Director of Aalaap Studios Pvt. Ltd., Colombo, Sri Lanka, and Samudi Rangika, Dancer & Teacher, Samudi Sankh Dance Company, Sri Lanka, whose presence added further significance to the evening.
