The festival featured three weeks of free spectacular outdoor performance on Thursdays through Sundays from 3-20 August. Akademi presented Awaz/Voice. Featuring professional dancers and an Asian women's group from London, Awaz/Voice invoked the stories and celebrated the dynamism of the Asian woman in a new site specific choreography by Chitra Sundaram.
