The Nrityagram Dance Ensemble is regarded as one of the foremost dance companies of India. Although steeped in and dedicated to ancient practice, Nrityagram dancers are also involved in carrying Indian dance into the twenty-first century. Their first full-length production, Sri – In Search of the Goddess, was made possible by the Doris Duke Fund for Dance of the National Dance Project, as was Sacred Space.

The newest production, Pratima: Reflection has been commissioned by the Joyce Theater’s Stephen and Cathy Weinroth Fund for New Work.

ODISSI is characterized by sensuousness and lyricism. With movements that reflect the motifs of Orissa temple sculpture, it captures drum rhythms, melodies, as well as the poetic meaning of songs taken from the vast canon of Oriya music. It speaks of love and union between human and divine, transporting viewers to enchanted worlds of magic and spirituality.
