About Iti Nritya

line.png

Lord Brahma says: I give you the fifth veda Nāțyashāstra – replete with śāstra (knowledge/ text), śilpa (art/ craft) and itihāhsa (legends, stories, myths).

There is nothing that is not found in nātya, it is the imitation of life and its learnings.

Valley of words is beginning with a new vertical Iti Nritya. It will be a platform for upcoming dancers of all Indian classical dance forms to showcase their performances on our stage.

 

Why we do it

  • To encourage young upcoming dancers

  • To spread awareness about our rich intangible art form – dance

  • To create an informed audience

 

How we do it

  • Giving and opening to young dancers to apply

  • By selecting three artistes from all over the country to perform on our stage

  • Creating an archive of the presentations for everyone to view​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
