The festival programme opens on Thursday 23 February with Striped Sari, and has been curated by Amina Khayyam Dance Company, who are well known in Woking for their work with South Asian Ladies groups. The programme created for the Mini Mela features work not performed in Woking before and includes a cabaret evening with live music and comedy on Friday 24 February, films at Nova cinema (dates TBA) and closes with a Double Bill on Saturday 4 March.
