Understanding the Depth of Odissi | A Conversation with Padma Shri Madhavi Mudgal

https://www.natyasutraonline.com/odis... Here, legendary artist Guru Madhavi Mudgal reflects on her experience of learning Odissi and why the form cannot be approached casually. Having trained earlier in Bharatanatyam and Kathak, she speaks about encountering Odissi later in life and realising that it demanded a different kind of patience and long-term commitment. Odissi requires time to absorb its movement vocabulary, musical structure, and expressive language before one can even begin to perform it meaningfully. #odissi #mangalacharan #madhavimudgal #odissidancer #natyasutraonline #indianclassicaldance
