A star-performer and celebrity-artist amongst
today's generation of dancers, Geeta
Chandran is a dance-bridge between the pristine classical style of
Bharatanatyam and a more contemporary dance aesthetic. Geeta is
Founder-President of Natya Vriksha,
an organization that enshrines the best philosophies of Indian classical
culture. She is celebrated not only for her deep and composite understanding of
the art of Bharatanatyam, but also for her Carnatic music (she is an
accomplished vocalist), her work in television, video and film, theatre,
choreography, dance-education and dance-issue journalism.
