Geetha Chandran - Bharatanatyam

Geetha Chandran

Among the well-known bharatanatyam dancers of the new generation, Geeta chandran was initiated in the art by Swarna Saraswathy. Subsequently she was trained by V.Sadasivam and Guru K.N.Dakshinamoorthy. She also studied abhinaya with Jamuna Krishnan and Kalanidhi Narayanan and is presently working with V.Krishnamoorthy.

Since her arangetram in 1974, Geeta Chandran has been performing regularly and has grown into a mature performer with a distinctly creative mind. Blending tradition and innovation, she has experimented with issues and concerns of contemporary relevance in her dance. She has also been writing on dance and related subjects.

Geeta chandran has performed in various parts of the country and abroad. She is the recipient of a fellowship from the Department of Culture, government of India for research in vachikabhinaya. She is currently teaching Bharatanatyam at Natya-vriksha, the institution she has founded in Delhi.
