One of the protégé’s of the legendary abhinaya guru, Smt. Kalanidhi Narayanan, Ramya has taught in the Diaspora for 40+ years and brings a unique perspective to the rich repertoire that she inherited from her gurus.

Using the principles of abhinaya that I have developed for myself to deconstruct and reconstruct a composition, students have the opportunity to explore and apply these techniques, principles, and processes. The goal is not merely to teach a specific piece, but to empower each participant with the tools to deepen their interpretive skills and develop or enhance their own creative expressions." Ramya

“Everyone agreed that you have powerful charmand had an impact on everyone. You could talk for hours and no one noticed the time. Everything you taught is precious and some of us are already applying your lessons”

“A flashback to old days with Kalanidhi Mamy! I liked particularly the suggestions and the freedom to improvise with ones own words - the important of eyes - the expressions of a thought, of a feeling. It was wonderful to revise a Padam which I have learnt decades ago and see it in a new perspective! Thank you, Ramya!”
