Based on our Philosophy of laying a 'Strong Foundation through Structured Training', we have designed our 'Abhinaya Classes' considering long term benefits to the students by providing a deeper understanding and training based on the philosophies and techniques described in the 'Natyasastra', an ancient Indian drama treatise, which is the root for all Indian classical dances.
Anisha Rajesh
Founder & Artistic Director
Our Summer Intensive 'Abhinaya Classes' are divided into four (4) levels, each level has four (4) parts. Each part will be conducted two (2) - 4-hour sessions.
Students will be provided with both theoretical knowledge and practical training. The intensity of the training will keep increasing as students advance through each part and each level. Students will continue to practice what they learned in each part and continue their journey to the next part of the series.
The Classes are designed to benefit all Intermediate and Advanced level Bharathanatayam and Mohiniyattam students. Beginner Level students can benefit from our less intensive and fun-filled 'Concepts of Abhinaya for Beginners' course.
In summer of 2018, we will be providing the following 'Abhinaya Classes' under the able guidance of our visiting faculty member, Shri Kalamandalam Shanmukhadas, a leading Kathakali artist in India. For more details of Sri Kalamandalam Shanmukhadas, please visit our faculty page.
