In this candid conversation, Soumya Sukumaran shares her journey through classical dance, the values she upholds, and her vision for the future of Indian performing arts.

OUR VISION

At Kalanjali Foundation, our vision is to empower lives through the transformative power of classical arts. We aim to preserve, promote, and innovate within the rich traditions of Bharatanatyam, Mohiniyattam, and Kuchipudi — while making them accessible and inclusive for all, irrespective of background or identity.

We envision a future where art becomes a bridge between tradition and progress, where every dancer’s voice is heard, and where culture inspires social harmony, equality, and awareness.

OUR MISSION

  • Nurture and train students in Indian classical dance forms with discipline, authenticity, and creativity.

  • Provide inclusive and accessible platforms for aspiring artists, especially from marginalized communities.

  • Conduct festivals, performances, and outreach programs that celebrate diversity, equality, and cultural heritage.

  • Use art as a tool for education, empowerment, and positive social change.

Through every performance, class, and collaboration, we strive to uphold the values of artistic excellence, social justice, and cultural pride.
