Adhyaya 2025.

Nritarutya’s biennial festival, Adhyaya, is a vibrant celebration of both art and the artist. This festival features never-before-seen works from promising dancers and companies in Bangalore, showcasing a unique blend of innovation and tradition.

As part of Nritarutya’s commitment to education and awareness in the performing arts, Adhyaya fosters cultural exchange and artistic collaboration. It provides an accessible platform for the professionalisation of the performing arts, inviting talent from India and around the world.

Adhyaya highlights the finest talent in dance and movement from India and around the world, curated by the founders of Nritarutya. This festival introduces novel works and emerging stars to a larger audience in Bengaluru, India.

By bringing together artists, performers, art patrons, and enthusiasts, Adhyaya fosters a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to the appreciation of dance.

Created by artists, for artists, Adhyaya champions the relentless pursuit of creativity. It is a space to learn, connect, share ideas, and deepen one’s artistic voice within an evolving global dance landscape.

We welcome artists from varied genres and movement backgrounds to apply. Share your creative process, your dance philosophy, or the story that drives your work—we look forward to experiencing the uniqueness you bring to the stage.

In spirit, Adhyaya has always been a heartfelt offering from the dancers of Nritarutya to dancers everywhere: a space shaped entirely by artists, dedicated to artistic growth, connection, and honest expression through movement.

At Adhyaya, we don’t just celebrate talent—we amplify it. Every voice matters, every gesture carries meaning, and each performance becomes a powerful story. Here, creativity, passion, and raw talent converge to craft experiences that transcend the stage—where the magic of movement meets the energy of possibility.
