Renjith and Vijna, one of the most sought after Bharatantayam duo, trained under eminent Gurus in Kalakshetra style, have been performing, choreographing, and teaching for the past two decades.
Their mission as practitioners of Bharatanatyam is to extend the boundaries of Indian traditional dance and create a new benchmark in the aesthetics of presentation by using innovative dance techniques. They strive to inculcate a higher quality in their performances that inspires, entertains, and educates a diverse audience.
The duo has been recognised with the ‘Natya Ratna’ from Trinity Arts Festival, Chennai in 2017 and the prestigious Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar for 2018 by The Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi for Bharatanatyam.
They have extensively performed in India, Europe, Middle East, USA, and South East Asia. Some of their notable performances have been at Madras Music Academy’s Annual Dance Festival, The Darbar Dance Festival in London, Soorya Dance Festival, Kerala Sangeeta Nataka Akademi and Nishagandhi Festival; to name a few.
Their collaborative works include ‘TARU’ of Korzo Theatre, in The Hague which was co-supported by Jiri Kylian Foundation and ‘HISTOIRES VRAIES’, choreographed by French Contemporary Dancer, Cécile Loyer for the Tamil Nadu Government and Theatre D’Orleans.
Known for their nuanced dancing, inspiring workshops and collaborations with leading dancers, choreographers and musicians, the couple work together as creative partners in moulding complete individuals through their brainchild: Sāraswatham Foundation. They are undoubtedly a perfect couple in the current generation of prominent ‘Dance Duos’ in India, representing the élan that signifies the principle of Shakti and Shiva in spiritual parlance.
