About the event
As the Kritya Dance Ensemble prepares for the upcoming New York Kuchipudi Dance Festival, we invite you to witness a special open rehearsal in Chicago. This is a glimpse into our creative process—an intimate showing of the hours of dedication, sweat, and joy that our dancers pour into this work.
Our ensemble (Arohi Dandawate, Shruthi Ailneni, Sravani Katamaneni, Akhila Ballari, and Sunayana Jampanaboyana) has been training rigorously, rehearsing at least three times a week, and this evening is a celebration of their incredible commitment and growth.
The rehearsal will be led by Kritya’s artistic director Yamini Kalluri and accompanied live on mridangam by the brilliant Harsha Mandayam Bharathi.
Come be a part of our journey, and experience the behind-the-scenes magic that shapes our performance.
