Kathakali Training
Students of Kathakali have to undergo rigorous training replete
with oil massages and separate exercises for eyes, lips, cheeks, mouth
and neck. Abhinaya or expression is of prime importance as is nritya
or dance and geetham or singing.
Together with highly evocative facial expressions, the mudras and the
music both vocal and instrumental, Kathakali unfolds stories from a
bygone era in a lofty style reminiscent of the Greek plays. Kerala
Kalamandalam , is the prominent institution imparting Kathakali
training in the traditional way.
