Odissi with a twist

Sutra Dance Theatre (SDT) is synonymous with odissi, but on Sept 27, the company gave a new spin to the dance form.

Different from the odissi repertoire usually presented by SDT, Ganjam paid homage to the cultural region of southern Odisha in India. Ganjam is home ground for some of Odisha’s eminent medieval composers, poets and literary authors. Hundreds of folk dance and theatre genres, each accompanied by its own distinctive music, still thrive in this district.
