This eclecticism in his own training has led
Shashadhar to develop a comprehensive system with which he has shaped his
technique both as a performer and teacher. The perfection of technique, which
is reflected in the art of Shashadhar Acharya has enabled him to communicate,
through his dance the inherent spirit of Seraikella Chhau. Though he is
creative in his methods of presentation he always aspires to be true to the
traditions that he has inherited.
Performing extensively, the traditional repertoire of
Seraikella Chhau on prestigious platforms across the country and abroad, he has
often stretched his knowledge to use the technique in innovative ways both in
dance and theatre. A deep-rooted knowledge of his art gives him the confidence
to use it in collaborative works with dancers, actors and directors of both
traditional and modern disciplines.
