Anita
Ratnam has received several awards and recognition for her work in the
performing arts.
"In a way,
awards reflect people's love. I feel so charged with this recognition and
thank the organisations that have selected me for their honours. Awards
boost your ego, enhance responsibility and make you more committed to your
work.
I am lucky
to have had wonderful gurus who have encouraged me and made me work very
hard in my early years. That is what is helping me today.
For me,
dance is the energy to be "every woman" and not just a dancer alone! I
have chosen a difficult path, bridging the gap between the traditional
and contemporary. But I am committed to creating and choreographing works
which speak to me…which communicate with audiences 'from heart to heart'."
