AROUND KATHAKALI

Sunday, March 29 / 10h-12h30
ADEM Maraîchers, 44 rue des Maraîchers, Geneva

Kathakali introduction

Stage de Danse

with master Narippatta Narayanan Namboodiri, assisted by Julien Touati

Both dance and theatre, Kathakali is of particular interest to actors. This workshop looks at the codified facial expressions and hand gestures, which are animated by structured body movements, and at the rhythmic work and fluidity of movements.

Madalam and Chenda drums

Percussion workshop

with masters Kalamandalam Unnikrishna and Kalamandalam Prakash, assisted by Michel Lestréhan

Percussion instruments are taught purely through oral transmission. It begins with striking a wooden trunk with sticks before progressing onto the maddalam and chenda drums. Learning is structured around rhythmic syllables: each strike is associated with a word, a sound, thus linking it to rhythmic cycles (talam).

Carnatic music introduction

Song workshop

with master Kalanilayam Rajeev and Brigitte Chataignier

Carnatic music is the classical style of South India. Of devotional and sacred origin like its dance and theatre, Carnatic music has been orally transmitted across the generations. Indian music is built on melodic modes (raga), the rhythmic cycle (tala) and flavour or expressivity (rasa).
