Koodiyattom Workshop and Jatayuvadhangam Koodiyattom @ Technopark

The phenomenal response to the Kathakali performance has inspired NATANA to introduce to the Techie cultural crowd, one of the most ancient, performing art forms of world- Koodiyattom.

The workshop covers areas of acting through Mudras, gestures and body movements (ilakiyattom and Pakarnattom), the Navarasas (9 expressions), different types of dance movements and an introduction to Ahaarya (Costume and Makeup) along with Aniyara Parichayam (Green Room). This will be followed by a Koodiyattom performance.

Koodiyattom, which literally means acting together, is a dramatic representation in Sanskrit, mostly of Hindu mythologies. This art form used to be much in vogue in the temples of Kerala and most temples had a huge theater / stage called the Koothambalam where regular performances of Koodiyattom took place. Role playing in Koodiyattom includes stylized form of vocal recitation coupled with a complete hand-gesture language and highly evocative facial expressions.
