Srinwanti Chakrabarti ((ベンガル語:শৃণ্বন্তি চক্রবর্তী)) is an Indian classical dancer and choreographer specialising in the style of Odissi. She was initiated into the dance form at five and flowered as a professional dancer while in her teens. She worked in England for several years as a dance educator, choreographer and performer. She has also founded an arts centre called Srijati in Kolkata where she has trained several dancers and formed her own dance troupe. Her innovative choreography has received positive reviews both in India and abroad. Recently she has performed extensively in France and has introduced many dancers to the form of Odissi in Paris. She has also performed and held workshops in Switzerland, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, Romania, US and Canada. ==Early life and education == Srinwanti was born in Bardhaman in West Bengal and later moved to Kolkata with her family. She studied at St. Xavier's school in Bardhaman and at Auxilium Convent in Kolkata. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology from Presidency College, Kolkata and then her Master of Arts degree in the same from the University of Calcutta. Even in her childhood Srinwanti had a penchant for dancing; she started dance training under her mother and was inducted into the Odissi dance form when only five. She was first guided and groomed by Smt. Sutapa Talukdar and Smt. Nandini Ghosal. Her talents flourished under the tutelage of Kelucharan Mohapatra who helped her immensely in learning the intricacies of the dance form. Her father was a major inspiration behind her choosing a career in Indian classical dance which is not very usual in India in families with no other professional performing artist. Srinwanti was also interested to pursue her doctoral studies for which she started researching on dance movement therapy and the application of traditional dance in bringing social wellness. Earlier she wrote a paper titled ''Hindu temple Women (Devdasi) - The Divine Prostitution'' as part of her master's thesis. Due to her commitment in her professional career as a dancer she could not pursue her doctoral studies further. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Srinwanti Chakrabarti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
