Great work dear Geeta Menon. Kathakali artists are given strneous training in both dance and physical exercises so as to make their performance super. When they present characters from great epics we are made to feel the presence of the great primces on the stage
Expressing one's own story without words is not so easy...but dancer's never miss it. Beautiful poetry ma'am
You said it very rightly ma'am...The dancers are strong, steady, full of stamina, While they stamp heavily to the beats of chenda, With pure dance movements of jumps and bends, Turning, moving around with spirals and leaps.
