An Invitation to Odissi at the Naman Festival, Bangalore

Dear Friends,
We are delighted to be performing at NAMAN, Festival of Odissi Dance, Bengaluru, presented by NRITYANTAR, artistic direction by dancer/guru Smt Madhulita Mohapatra. We will be performing ‘Invitation to Odissi’ at ADA, Rangamandira on 1 Sept, 2024 (5pm onwards) with NRITYANTAR Dance Ensemble and Odissi Dance Centre.
I am also looking forward to participate in a panel discussion with luminaries of Odissi such as dance critics Leela Venkataraman, Tapati Chowdhurie and artist/designer/critic VV Ramani and others.
‘Invitation to Odissi’ will be performed by Sutra dancers Geethika Sree, Vickneshwaran, Tan Mei Mei and with myself as the Sutradhar.
As the title alludes this Sutra production is an invitation to savour the Odissi style of Debaprasad parampara, where we will be featuring some signature works representing this Odissi style.
It has been sometime since we last performed in Bengaluru, the last time being when we toured ‘Odissi on High’, a production Sutra co-produced with Rudrakshya Foundation (BBSR) in 2019. Certainly, it will be lovely to connect with dance friends in Bengaluru once again!
Ramli
