Savitha Sastry (born 11 December 1969) is an Indian dancer and choreographer best known as an exponent of Bharatanatyam. She is known to experiment with the format of traditional Bharatanatyam by using the techniques of Bharatanatyam to showcase theme-based productions based on novel stories, not based on Indian mythology or religion.[1][2][3][4] Her innovations have been described as 'path breaking' by critics.[5] and she is considered to be a 'renaissance architect'[6] who 'holds the distinction of being the dancer to have brought out a revolution in the way Bharatanatyam is presented after Rukmini Devi Arundale'.[7][8]
