Welcome to
Sutra Dance Theatre
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.

Sutra & KamaRia Gallery
Sutra Gallery & KamaRia Gallery offer unique alternative venues for visual arts in Malaysia and both are associated with Sutra Foundation. Over three decades, Sutra has spearheaded painting, drawing and photographic exhibitions alongside its dance productions, and thereby projected an integrated view of the performing and visual arts.
Sutra House
3D Immersive Virtual tour
Sutra Foundation, as an arts space, can now be viewed virtually. SF has created a virtual platform for Sutra House where viewers are able to take a virtual tour, not only of the inside but also the garden outside the building.
This will not only enhance and facilitate effectively our presentation of virtual exhibitions, but also for renting purposes.
We invite you to savour the beautiful space of Sutra House.
