It is empanelled with the ICCR - Indian Council for Cultural Relations. It describes itself as ''"A group of young dancers from diverse backgrounds of dance and martial arts on a journey together, exploring new avenues while staying rooted in the traditional."'' Their performances have long been characterized by a strong thematic element, with an Indian essence. Their company artists are trained in movement disciplines like Indian classical dance, martial arts, yoga, folk dance, cinematic dance, modern dance and acrobatics. Nritarutya has presented its work at several international venues and participated in festivals like the Golden Jubilee year celebrations of FTII, Pune - 2010, SAMA Festival, Newcastle Gateshead (organised by GemArts (GemArts website ), PCS & Kalapremi) - 2008, International Birmingham dance festival - 2008, World Performing Arts Festival, Lahore- 2008, Centre for contemporary art, Bahrain - 2008, India Now Festival, London - 2007, Asian Arts Mart Festival, Singapore - 2005, etc. In India, they have performed at the Kalagodha festival, Mumbai - 2006, The Other Festival, Chennai - 2002, Soorya festival, Kerala - 2007, Khoj International Artist Festival, Bangalore - 2004, Dharwad Utsav 2008, Attakkalari Festival for Movement Arts - 2004 among others. Prayog, their home production, has become a veritable melting pot of artists from varied disciplines speaking their heart out through original contemporary dance experiments/presentations. Prayog, which means“experiment” is a brand that seeks to establish itself in the performing arts world as a dance theater production par excellence. In its last few avatars, Prayog has effectively used technology, classical dance, movement, martial arts, poetry and storytelling to create breath taking works of art. In its format of short, powerful pieces, Prayog gives the choreographers and the dancers a forum for experimentation, pushing the boundaries of their bodies as dancers and of the art as a discipline. Prayog-1 - August 2001, the pilot project was the collaborative effort of 14 artistes - live musicians, fashion designers and fine artists - to present six thematic choreographies. Prayog-2 - August 2004, took their work to a larger audience With 10 performers scanning the stage space, this production was also earmarked with a release of a booklet on contemporary dance titled ‘Reflections’.

Prayog-4 - November 22, 2013, furthering on the creation of a unique, unconventional dance brand that would lead the Indian contemporary dance ethos into new directions. It featured three choreographies – “Matsyaangnaa”, and Trishanku” choreographed by Madhuri Upadhya and “Chakra” choreographed by Sathya BG.
