Born with an artistic and creative flair, Rujuta has been pushing the traditional boundaries of kathak through her collaborations with various renowned artists like George Brooks, Mame Khan, Pdt. Jayteertha Mevundi, Pt Purbayan Chatterjee and many more.
Her performances are a delight to the masses and critics equally due to the grace and energy that she carries, while experimenting with content, taal and music to bring something new to the audiences.
One of her recent presentations, "Mallpractice and the show" is an experimental theatre play, casting Rujuta as the lead solo artist. It is directed and written by Sree Atul Pethe, a respected name in this field. The show was immensely appreciated and well received by the audiences which include eminent personalities from the film and theatre industry.
