Event Actions
Please join us for an open rehearsal and demonstration with Yamini Kalluri and the Kriyta Ensemble. Yamini Kalluri is a world-class Kuchipudi dancer, choreographer, educator, and founder of the nonprofit Kritya Foundation.”
Kalluri is at once deeply traditional, but also flirts with the avant-garde. Kalluri is known for her grace, lines, agility, and uncompromising quest for perfection as she works to re-frame and highlight Kuchipudi in a global context.
The Kritya Ensemble performs with the mission to bring more visibility to Kuchipudi dance and Carnatic music on a global scale.
Kritya has both a dance and music ensemble where the 2500+ year old Carnatic music tradition and 500+ year old Kuchipudi dance tradition from South India come together to tell ancient stories rooted in spirituality and social themes.
