There, women and girls come from all over to study contemporary Odissi, a form of Indian Classical Dance that uses symbolic theatrical dance movements to convey a spiritual story. In this documentary-style dance piece, the company's Artistic Director, Surupa Sen, speaks about the ancient dance style and shows off the school's talented pupils. This piece was part of Fall For Dance North's 2022 festival.
