Dance Epicure on April 2 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo, is the inaugural presentation by the Colombo Dance Theatre, Naomi’s latest initiative. The evening will have 15 artistically choreographed dance sequences, including Ballroom, Latin American and Contemporary style dance numbers, interspersed with a four-course sit-down meal.
“I am so honoured that some of the UK’s leading dancers have chosen to collaborate with us, and I am equally thrilled to be able to showcase the best of our Sri Lankan talent on the same platform.” The concept of a dinner dance theatre has been on my mind for the longest time and I couldn’t think of a better moment to finally turn this dream into a reality,” Naomi said.
“The calibre of these world-renowned dancers paired with the best of With My Feet dancers is the perfect opportunity to offer something truly unique to our Sri Lankan audience.”
Naomi’s desire to nurture dancers who lack the opportunities they deserve has always been a guiding principle in her shows. Dance Epicure will thus feature a performance by the children of the Warehouse Project, an urban community solution in partnership with the Sri Narada Foundation performing to a song by artist Sankha B, co-written by Suhail Chandrasekera.
Naomi’s dance production house, With My Feet has gained its own following over the years with some memorable shows, most recent of which are Resurrection (2017), Grace & Glory (2019) and Absolute Joy (2022).
Part proceeds from the show will go towards the Dev Siri Sevana Elders Home, Welisara as is the practice at Naomi’s shows.
Lending their support for Dance Epicure are; Banking Partner Standard Chartered Bank Priority, Maliban Biscuit Manufactories, John Keells Properties, Host Hotel – the Shangri-La, Airline Partner Sri Lankan Airlines, Media Partner Wijeya Newspapers, and Electronic Media Partner – Capital Maharaja.
