savitha sastry

savitha sastry is an indian dancer and choreographer best known as an exponent of bharatanatyam .
she is the founder-director of sai shree arts , a dance company known to experiment with the format of traditional bharatanatyam by using the techniques of bharatanatyam to showcase theme based productions based on novel stories , not based on indian mythology or religion .
her innovations have been described as ` path breaking ' by critics , and she is considered to be a ` renaissance architect ' of the dance form much as rukmini devi arundale was in her times .
