Signature Productions
Our productions & thematic margams bring together artistry, research, and collaboration — exploring themes that connect the spiritual, cultural, and human dimensions of Indian classical art. Each project involves months of curation, choreography, and design to create a unified, immersive experience for audiences.
Kshetram
A first-of-its-kind thematic production that brought together five senior artists across Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, and Kuchipudi — each interpreting the spirit of five sacred kshetrams through their own tradition.
The production celebrated diversity within classical form, collaboration among teachers, and the unity of spiritual expression through dance.
Audiences and peers alike praised Kshetram for its originality, artistic integrity, and the rare dialogue it created between styles.
A beautifully conceived production — seeing multiple dance traditions come together seamlessly around a shared theme was truly powerful.”
“Kshetram was unlike any production we’ve seen before — collaborative, spiritual, and deeply educational.”

Muruga
A full Bharatanatyam margam inspired by the life and legends of Lord Muruga, this production traced his journey from divine birth to marriages (with a hint of sarcasm).
