Reviews
“The dancers from Nrityagram stormed the bastion of dance in Chennai, wowing the knowledgeable audience into a standing ovation!”
The Hindu

“This was dance that never seemed to stop, even in those curvilinear poses. Should we dare compare it to George Balanchine's work with the New York City Ballet, where ballerinas seemed to float while seemingly encased in a simple fifth position? Like NYCB, Sen's dancers would erupt into movement that surged across the stage with remarkable speed and agility!”
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

“The ensemble mesmerized a sold-out audience with its artistry, energy, technique and beauty.”
Dance Magazine

“Watching Sen’s choreography is like encountering a chef with a perfect palate or a singer with perfect pitch. The sense of proportion and balance is immaculate. A line of dancers will shift, stamp and swirl in unison and imperceptibly one of them will glide back from the group to pose and watch. Sen has an unerring sense of when to keep dancers in formation and when to vary the picture as if she could anticipate the audience’s desires. Her use of space is similar. The patterns aren’t complex; they’re simply right.”
Danceview Times

“Nrityagram is the best Indian classical company to come to this area in a long time. It’s confident. It’s cutting edge. It’s a winner!”
The Washington Post

“Dazzling Āhuti!”
Narthaki

“Surupa Sen seems to be literally tearing open the lexicon of the Odissi movement vocabulary, looking deeper at the etymology and histories of its movements and stringing together more powerful phrases of the dance. But this ability to hold Odissi in her body is at par with her skill at speaking it through her face with her finesse in abhinaya.”
