Rujuta Soman Cultural Academy
The Rujuta Soman Cultural Academy (RSCA) was founded and managed by Rujuta to provide one platform for her various teaching engagements. Here, she trains students of all ages from different cities and countries in pure classical kathak – in gratitude to her Guru and to carry forward her work.
RSCA aims to extend the boundaries of Indian traditional dance and create a new benchmark in the aesthetics of presentation by using state-of-the-art technology and innovative dance techniques.
In the last 12 years, RSCA has and continues to impact the preservation and promotion of Kathak at the highest caliber locally, nationally and internationally. Rujuta at explores and shares the experience of dance at various levels through performances, trainings, productions, education and organizing events and lecture demonstrations by stalwarts from the related fields of Indian Classical Dance and Music.
Through RSCA, Rujuta has specially conceptualized an exchange program - “Life in Gurukul” for the foreign students interested in the Indian culture. This program is designed to expose young dancers from all over the world to the beauty and grace of Kathak as well as the discipline, the integrity and the simplicity of Indian culture that supports the dance.
The work at RSCA has always included support for the less fortunate sections of our society. Rujuta has conceptualized, choreographed and organized various charity shows in the aid of social organizations as follows:
Bhairav Bhavataraka – A ballet on Lord Shiva for the children at Poona Blind School
Darpan, Pehchaan Stri Astitva ki... - Exploring the core of feminine strength in the aid of Kayakalp and Vanchit Vikas creches for special children.
Unnayan, a journey towards enlightenment – A Kathak – Bharat Natyam ballet on HIV Aids Awareness in association with the John Hopkins University CCP
Chitanya – A choreography with mental illness [schizophrenia] and society as the core subject
Another interesting area of focus for RSCA is the use of Kathak as a therapy. Rujuta knows from her experience that the body and mind work together and can heal each other. She has been using dance therapy techniques at the Seva Sadan and St. Catherine of Siena Orphanage and School, both located in Mumbai.
