Aditi Mangaldas

Aditi Mangaldas, principal dancer and choreographer, has trained extensively in the traditional technique of Kathak, characterized by fast rhythmic footwork, spectacular spins, and poised stances, as well as a subtle, relatively abstract, way of conveying dramatic expression. She is also a serious practitioner of yoga. Retaining the spirit and dynamism of these ancient forms, she places them in a contemporary context, extending their vocabulary to create a new language of movement. Aditi is recognized not only as a master of Indian dance but also as one of India’s most intelligent contemporary choreographers.
