Trip to "NRITYAGRAM"
A Field trip to "NRITYAGRAM"
A field trip to The Heritage Village of Dance- Nrityagram was unforgettable and full of fun. Our school's 50 students were selected for the trip to "Nrityagram"- A Heritage village of Indian. It's a world famous heritage village started by Guru Protima Gauri Bedi. Children had fun and excitement visiting the dance village and had a great personal experience with the world famous artists like Bijayinisatpathyand few more students of Nrityagram. children had a lecture demonstration (specially Odissi ) of Indian classical dance and participate in workshop performance with the regular students of Nrityagram. They were excited, trilled and had lots of fun.
The lifestyle at Nrityagram is based on the age-old Gurukul tradition. As per this ancient method, students look after and care for their Guru by growing fruit and vegetables on the land, cooking, cleaning, and earning through dance recitals. At Nrityagram, the institution fulfills the role of the Guru - as protector and as someone who makes available knowledge and experience. Trainees will learn under the tutelage of several Gurus, however their duties towards Nrityagram are of prime importance.
Along with the intensive dance training, they learn Indian Literature, mythology, poetry, Sanskrit, music, aesthetics, history of dance, philosophy, spiritual thought and dance theory. Regular workshops are conducted in martial arts, yoga, mime, meditation, sculpture, etc. These workshops, in other disciplines that use the body, help to improve stances and energy levels. They also inculcate an awareness of the interdisciplinary approach and an understanding of the inter-relatedness of all arts and physical traditions, not only of India, but also of other countries.

Inspiring Guru Protima Gauri (October 12,1948 - August 18, 1998)
"I dream of building a community of dancers in a forsaken place amidst nature. A place where nothing exists, except dance. A place where you breathe, eat, sleep, dream, talk, imagine - dance.
A place where all the five senses can be refined to perfection. A place where dancers drop negative qualities such as jealousy, small-mindedness, greed and malice to embrace their colleagues as sisters and support each other in their journey towards becoming dancers of merit."
"A place called Nrityagram."
