Her recent choreographic work, all funded through Arts Council England, include Shades of Love: Chandrika, and Dancing Vernacular Indian poetry – Kshetrayya (2021) Chinnadevi (2020) Women of Mahabarata (2019) Rasamanjari (2019), Gopala Vimshati, East Meets West and Madras Sepoy (2018).

Subramanian Sitaram is the 5th of the seven children of Tamil poet Tiruloka Sitaram (1917-1973), who strode the literary scene in Tamilnadu as Mahakavi Subramanya Bharati’s principal message bearer in the period from 1945 to 1973. Subramanian was a career banker and worked at several places in India during a career spanning 31 years and later for 9 years at Dubai, UAE. He is a Treasury and Risk Management specialist. He consults for banks in Risk Management and also offers training on Financial Risk to Corporates and training institutions.

Subramanian was 17 years old when his poet father passed away. However, he spent a good amount of time with his father during his last few years, travelling with his father on his lecture tours and meeting authors. Subramanian also ran his father’s printing press for 4 years after his passing away before joining banks.

Subramanian produced a documentary on Tiruloka Sitaram, a dance video on Tirulokam’s long verse drama ‘Udaiyavar’, an Odissi dance performed by his daughter Suprita Trilok and also organised the Centenary celebrations of Tirulokam at Chennai. A committed follower of Tirulokam’s literary works, he was also instrumental in bringing out the complete poetical works of Tirulokam with English translation and notes by Sekkizhar Adippodi T.N.Ramachandran in 2014.
