In conversation with Sharmila Biswas

Odissi dance virtuoso and Sangeet Natak Akademi Award recipient Sharmila Biswas is inarguably one of India’s top Odissi exponents. A disciple of Guru Kelucharan Mohapatra, Sharmila Biswas has performed extensively in a number of his productions, both in India and abroad. The ever so magnificent Odissi danseuse recently came to Bangladesh to conduct a three-day long workshop at one of the country’s leading dance schools, Kolpotoru. On the concluding day of the workshop, The Daily Star caught up with the artiste for a quick chat on her teaching experience in Dhaka and more.
