Dance With Space
A Special Lecture Demonstration
Artist
Five decades inside a form leaves its knowledge in the body. This evening, Malavika Sarukkai brings it to you.
One of India’s foremost Bharatanatyam artistes, Sarukkai presents a selection of her choreographies alongside the creative process that shaped them, the layering of intention and intuition, the place where classical grammar meets a contemporary mind. Accompanied by four musicians, she moves between demonstration and reflection, making visible what usually remains privy to the artist alone.
The evening is open to all: rasikas, dancers, scholars, and enthusiasts alike.

Malavika Sarukkai
Malavika Sarukkai is a renowned Bharatanatyam artist and Managing Trustee of the Kalavaahini Foundation.
She is a firm believer in tradition and change, her choreographic interpretations extend the boundaries of Bharatanatyam to reveal the incandescent beauty of the classical language of dance with the energised articulation of a contemporary mind. Committed to an internalised creative dance process, her choreographies embody originality, intelligence, mastery of technique and a vitalised movement vocabulary, to inventively relate the world of dance to the world around us.
An acclaimed artist, she is a recipient of the Padma Shri, honoured by the Government of India in 2003 and the Sangeet Natak Akademi award in 2002.
