“Pushing the body to its creative limits in the context of dance.” This angika abhinaya, or expression through the dancer’s body, is a significant influence in Sathya’s choreography.
Sathya trains Nritarutya’s core team in contemporary styles. His unique, physically demanding compositions make us reach deep within for reserves of strength. And his well-developed sense of humour can sometimes make workout sessions collapse with explosions of mirth! Sathya’s talents extend to graphic design[has designed this web-site] and music as well. He heads our creative department, and likes to edit music for his creations.
Always a student of dance, Sathya relentlessly pursues new levels in creative movement. His well-known creations include Mars, Tha, 3 Sides of a Coin and Intersections.
