Ragamala Dance's work provides a bridge between cultures both ancient and modern, exploring a unique style of living poetry for the stage. Rooted in Bharatanatyam, a classical dance form from southern India, Ragamala blends dance, music, and poetry. Old forms are used in new ways to retain the past, enhance the present, and inspire the future.
Ragamala
in the News
“[The women of Ragamala] can
be fierce or fragile, stately or ebullient, spiritual or erotic…these
dancers alter the very
textures of their bodies from moment to moment—they thicken, sharpen,
attenuate, and refine the highly inflected vocabulary of Bharatanatyam.”
-Dance
Magazine
"The performers are masters of their art...a once-in-a-lifetime experience."
-
The Fringe Review (Edinburgh, U.K.)
"Ragamala does proud justice to Indian culture."
- Time Out New York
