Praveen Kumar hails from Bangalore, where he has dedicated his life to the art of bharatanatyam. Most recently, Kumar was selected to perform by the Music Academy to perform in a primary spot at the 2022 Chennai season!

Recognized as Karnataka Kalasri from Karnataka Sangeeta Nrutya Academy in 2021, Kumar has been a celebrated performer across India and internationally for nearly two decades.

    “performed a master class in abhinaya and held the audience spellbound” – Mohan Ayyar (Narthaki)

fast footwork … sensitive to the music … familiar yet novel application” – Sujatha Vijayaraghavan (Sruti magazine)

 

Natya Company will open this performance with Smt Hema Rajagopalan’s newest work SEARCH WITHIN. Dancers search for the beauty of Siva – only to find that this search for physical beauty is better satiated through recognition of the grace of nature and the duality of our existence/non-existence, bringing a compelling peace of the inner soul.

As the mainstage production, Praveen Kumar‘s SAKHA  is a thematic presentation centered around a Nayaka – exploring his relationships as a friend and companion.
