This workshop is a continuation of four dialogues between Asian-Canadian communities that was inspired by the cross-cultural humanitarian response to earthquake relief efforts in May 2011. By empowering youth to share and work alongside each other, this project hopes to continue the ongoing peace process by reconciling the forgotten history of WWII in Asia.

KAAL is the Sanskrit word for TIME. Based on our research of the ancient Indian scriptures – Rig Veda, Atharva Ved and Shveta Upanishad, with the guidance of the eminent Vedic scholar Dr. Tulsiram Sharma, the creation of extraordinary music by Mr. Ashit Desai, my innovative choreography and the participation of fourteen brilliant dancers, we are presenting the story of TIME. How time came into existence 14.9 billion years ago with the BIG BANG, how galaxies, planets, elements, night and day cycle and seasons were created and finally how TIME came to an end, because any thing that comes into existence in TIME must go out of existence in TIME.
