So, what's your plan for today? A lazy brunch, followed by a movie and a shopping spree? Instead, what if you get a chance to watch a quirky comedy performance or an acclaimed dance piece, listen to Rajasthani folk tunes synchronised with electric guitar and get your kids to learn more about Ramayana through puppetry? Art Hop, a cultural festival, claims to have 50 artists and 30 performers show their acumen at 12 locations spanning from art galleries, restaurants and atop a salon roof in Bandra. The brainchild of Aalok Aswani, Varsha Krishnani and Nihariekka Lohia, the one-day event has an eclectic mix of art shows, music and dance performances, comedy pieces and workshops to learn a thing or two about photography, pottery, the meditative Japanese Butoh Dance and art therapy.u00a0
