Ms Mudgal says Odissi is an art which transports the proportions and coordination while dancing. It has movements emanated from an inner calm, passing through a beautifully lively torso to reveal each dance with decisive architecture in time and space, before returning, often, to a still centre.
Madhavi has been associated with the making of several films and audio-visuals on Odissi as well as with the organization of some of the most widely appreciated specialized dance festivals in India.
She has also established a niche in the international dance scene as a soloist, she has also received critical acclaim for her choreographic works.
