About
An Odissi dancer, teacher and scholar presently based in the UK. Her artistic and academic career has been strongly influenced by an instinctive interest in the diversity of human practices and beliefs. This fascination with the nature of culture, honed by higher studies in cultural anthropology, has gradually merged with Elena’s inborn talent for the performing arts. Founder and artistic director of Bhumi, Elena has established herself as one of the most impressive and influential Odissi dancers in the UK. Following her PhD at Durham University researching Odissi Training, she lectures at Kingston University where she teaches Odissi, yoga and dance anthropology. Elena has distinguished herself as a dancer and a scholar for her understanding and embodiment of Odissi aesthetics. Elena is a core member of the Odissi Ensemble and Nritya Yuva Award Winner 2017.
