Dhaka, Nov 4 (IANS) Kathakali, the ancient dance form from South India’s Kerala state, has made its debut here.
A workshop was held at Shanto Marium University of Creative Technology Oct 26-31 and was conducted by Guru T. Shankar Narayan, former professor at Sangeet Bhaban in Visva Bharati University, India.
The presentation had a group demonstration led by Tamanna Rahman.
Noted Bharatanatyam guru from India Thankamani Kutty was present, the Daily Star said Thursday.
The word ‘Kathakali’ literally means ‘story-play’. This highly stylised classical Indian dance-drama is noted for its particular code of make-up, elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined movements.
