A Celebration of Art, Culture, Tradition, & Innovation
We are thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation to you for a celebration of art, culture, tradition, and innovation at our inaugural New York Kuchipudi Dance Festival. There will be two opportunities to enjoy this production - as a live audience member at the James and Martha Duffy Performance Space at the Mark Morris Dance Center, or in the comfort of your own home via live-stream. Please join us as we bring the timeless elegance and vibrant energy of Kuchipudi to life.
A Showcase of Talent & Dedication
Kuchipudi, one of the eight classical dances originating from southern India, is renowned for its graceful movements, expressive storytelling, and intricate footwork. Our aim is to increase awareness and appreciation of Kuchipudi dance, an ancient cultural art form, to embrace and enhance the diversity of the performing arts culture, and to showcase and celebrate artists who have dedicated themselves to the dissemination of this tradition.

Become an Honored Patron
Without the aid of our community, we would not be able to showcase Kuchipudi on a professional platform, further develop our dance traditions, and pass the gift of Indian Classical dance from generation to generation. We invite you to support this production further by becoming an honored patron!
If one misses seeing and knowing about Kuchipudi dance, one also misses seeing a great deal of living dance forms and the ancient theories in their fullness. - Shri N.S Krishnamurthy
Performing Artists
The New York Kuchipudi festival will showcase a series of captivating performances by distinguished professional artists, emerging talents, and ardent students, each bringing their unique gifts and dedication to this exquisite dance form.
