Gotipuo is a dance form with origins dating back to 5 B.C. A pre-cursor to Odishi Dance which is one of India’s oldest dance forms, Gotipuo originated somewhere around 5 B.C. The RTX Tribe collaborated with a 50 year old dance school in Konark to paint their gorgeous stage, create a website that brings them an audience & sponsors and documented their art, culture & music.

As part of the Art Project, 30+ artists collaborated to paint an art mural in collaboration with a low-income community of moms & school-going children. The intent was to remind them that education is fun and going to school is important. The mural was painted on a huge wall by the sea which also happened to be the passage for the kids to go to school.

Every RTX Project invites local creators from the country it is visiting. Apart from the eclectic blend, it also creates unique creative connections and brings relevance to the projects travelers create. In the past, RTX has collaborated with over 80+ local creators. Locals are also the best maps.
