                         CHITRA VISWESWARAN

        Chitra Visweswaran trained initially under T. N. Rajalakhsmi of the
        Tanjore School at Calcutta, India. She also studied under Vazhuvur
        Ramaiah Pillai at Madras, India for a number of years. She has given
        recitals in major dance and music festivals all over India and abroad.
        She conducts a school in Madras, "Chidambaram", where she imparts
        training in dance.

        Her dancing is noteworthy for an ability to register subtle nuances
        and the leisurely exposition of abhinaya numbers. Her movements are
        expansive and maintain an artistic balance.

        Chitra Visweswaran was awarded the Sangeet Natak Academy award in
        1988 by India's premier Performing Arts Academy. She was also awarded
        the Padmashree - Indian Government's prestigious award for excellence,
        in 1991.
