David's Pictures: A day in our lives at Nrityagram

For all of you interested in theatre and acting, here is what our day at Nrityagram looks like.


This is the Kathak Gurukul in which we began our rehearsals. We've now moved to the Odissi Gurukul.


This is the original sign marking Nrityagram. Protima Gauri, the founder of Nrityagram, would stand here, dressed in a white sari with flowers in her hair and welcome the audience for Vasantahabba.



Here is Sophia, leading the team in an early morning run.

One night, there was no light, but hurricane lanterns made a beautiful picture.
