Madhavi Mudgal epitomizes the elegance and sophistication that are the result of blending modern sensibilities with the ancient ethos of eastern India to create the highly lyrical dance art of Odissi. Mudgal’s command over the nritta or purely ornamental aspect of Odissi is striking. Her delicate postures and strong rhythmic footwork combine in an appealing flow of sculpturesque movements. Her subtle abhinaya (the expressional aspect of dance), musical knowledge and aesthetic sense add to the highly distinctive character of her recitals.
Mudgal is… lyrical, ever-flowing. She radiates an inner calm; movement seems to pour from out of her soul (Review from Ballet Magazine) Madhavi Mudgal seems to stroke movement from out of her fingertips, releasing it like a butterfly into the air, her face and darting eyes suggest a young girl’s endless hopes, dreams and desires. (Review from Ballet Magazine)
