Natya Dance Theatre's 50th Anniversary

Register

For its 50th anniversary season, Natya Dance Theatre (NDT) continues to share important milestones in NDT’s rich history at the Dance Center. In 2001, NDT made its Dance Center debut and celebrated its 25th anniversary with a 3-day international conference, Bharatanatyam in the Diaspora, convening scholars and artists from India, Europe, and North America. Subsequent NDT engagements at the Dance Center featured the world premieres of Alakshaya: The Invisible Veil (2007), Varna - Colors of White (2015 – NDT’s 40th anniversary season), and INAI - The Connection (2019).

Rooted in tradition, shaped by vision, and guided by rasa, Natya Dance Theatre celebrates 50 years of preserving and perpetuating bharata natyam in all its classical rigor, and moving the art form in innovative directions to foster cultural exchange through dance. NDT’s contemporary interpretations incorporate dynamic body movement, rhythmic footwork, hand gestures and facial expressions to convey meaning and emotion that create rasa, aesthetic experiences that spiritually transform audiences worldwide.
