CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: On the fourth day, during the second session of the 21-day National Workshop on Sanskrit Rupaka Direction organised by the Centre for Natyashastra Studies and Research at the Bhopal campus of Central Sanskrit University, renowned Kudiyattam expert V. Girishan from Kerala provided detailed training on the practical aspects of Kudiyattam.

He trained participants through live demonstrations of Kudiyattam’s acting tradition, body movement, eye expressions, hand gestures, physical control and practical methods of stage presentation. On the occasion, participants also practised various acting techniques themselves and closely understood Kudiyattam’s distinctive presentation style, emotional expression and character-building techniques.

At the end of the session, participants received answers to their questions and described the practical training as highly useful and inspiring.

Programme coordinator Prof. Kripa Shankar Sharma welcomed Girishan, while co-coordinator Dr. Sangeeta Gundecha proposed the vote of thanks.
