We are a group of visual artistes based in Kerala, a State in South India.

We have been involved in creating original art movements based in the rich
cultural base that we have.

Our repertoire includes theatre productions, animation films, art
exhibitions and music shows.

As part of placing our traditional theatre in the contemporary context, we
are offering fortnight-long Theatre Workshops based on Kathakali, a
traditional dance-drama from South India. Kathakali, arising out of ancient
Indian Sanskrit theatre, has actors using elaborate costumes and sign
language to communicate the theme. The workshop is aimed at translating the
techniques and energies used in this theatre in contemporary theatre.

We are actually looking forward to conduct international Kathakali workshops
for theatre persons and students specialising in Theatre/acting courses.   Focus of this workshop will be helping the participants get a new perspective about his/her spirituality.  This realization of one’s own self and serenity that follows is the base of
traditional Indian theatre.

We are also conducting International workshops here in our home state Kerala
twice in a year depending upon requests we receive from overseas .
However, we could come to the respective universities departments and theatre companies to conduct live workshops  and associate with persons who are engaged in Theatre
studies.

Should you have any questions or queries regarding our programme please
don’t hesitate to contact me. I would be glad to answer any of your queries.

Best wishes
