Based in Boston, Anubhava Dance Company is a Bharatanatyam ensemble that champions Indian classical dance as a living, evolving art form: intellectually rigorous, emotionally resonant, and deeply relevant. Rooted in the precision and expressive power of this centuries-old form, the company’s performances range from traditional works to those with contemporary perspectives crafted with novel music and choreography.

Anubhava has toured nationally since their acclaimed debut at the Cleveland Thyagaraja Festival, the largest Indian classical music and dance festival outside India. Their recent works have explored themes drawn from science, mental health, literature, and interactive technology. Critics note the company’s exceptional clarity, ensemble cohesion, and performers whose physical and emotional investment is thrilling to witness onstage. They will be performing their work Anatomy of Fear at Jacob’s Pillow.
