Surupa Sen and Bijayini Satpathy

This weekend, the stage is set for a detour from the traditional repertoire of Odissi, and Kathak performed at varying tempos. Bengaluru-based Nrityagram, started by late Protima Gauri, will present their latest production, Åu00c2u009ariya (Sanskrit for the term Åu00c2u009ari) as part of the annual Pt Durgalal Festival to be held in the city. The production presents a selection of works created over a decade and showcases a creative journey in search of the goddess. The act is choreographed by artistic director and soloist Surupa Sen, who was the first student at Nrityagram, where she began her Odissi training with architect of the dance form, Guru Kelucharan Mahapatra.
