Welcome to Sutra Foundation
Sutra Foundation, a bastion of traditional and contemporary arts endowed to Malaysia by Datuk Ramli Ibrahim. Established in 2007, the Foundation, a full-fledged and tax-exempt entity, carries into the future the thread of Ramli’s vision and contribution to the Malaysian arts, securing its legacy for the next generation. The Foundation strives to develop the breadth and depth of Malaysian performing and visual arts by stimulating the creative spirit of cross-cultural Malaysia.
Sutra Academy
It is not a coincidence that over the years Sutra has consistently produced some of the best Bharatanatyam and Odissi dancers from Malaysia.
Sutra has developed an efficient and eclectic methodology through an eclectic, specially designed ‘physical conditioning’ to prepare the body inculcating the correct posture, anga-sudha (the perfection of form and lines) and expressivity.
Bharatanatyam
(Kalakshetra bani, repertoire mainly from the late Guru Adyar K Lakshman)
Odissi
(Debaprasad Das parampara)
Sutra & KamaRia Gallery
Sutra Gallery & KamaRia Gallery offer unique alternative venues for visual arts in Malaysia and both are associated with Sutra Foundation.
