international women's day

Each year Smitalay celebrates International Women's day. This annual event has been started in 1995. It is a celebration of womanhood through dance, theatre and music. It features performances by women, about women and for women. We plan to extend this beyond dance, theatre & music to puppetry, painting, ceramics, yoga etc.
