About this deal
It is traditionally attributed to Unniri Panikkar, in a Brahmin household (~1850), and became the dominant style established in Kerala Kalamandalam – a school of performance arts. It is a little difficult for the children to learn Malayalam who has settled outside India than children who live in Kerala. Kathakali also incorporates several elements from other traditional and ritualistic art forms like Mudiyettu, Theyyam and Padayani besides folk arts such as Porattu Nadakam that shares ideas with the Tamil Therukoothu tradition. The interplay of these gunas defines the character of someone or something, [45] and the costumes and face colouring in Kathakali often combines the various colour codes to give complexity and depth to the actor-dancers. Some characters have a green face (representing heroic or excellence as a warrior) with red dots or lines on their cheeks or red-coloured moustache or red-streaked beard (representing evil inner nature), while others have a full face and beard while others have a full face and beard coloured red, the latter implying excessively evil characters.
Seven basic makeup types are used in Kathakali, namely Pachcha (green), Pazhuppu (ripe), Kathi, Kari, Thaadi, Minukku and Teppu (red).Kathakali is different from a similar-sounding Kathak, though both are Indian classical dance traditions of "story play" wherein the stories have been traditionally derived from the Hindu epics and the Puranas. Thodayam is performed behind a curtain and without all the costumes, while Purappadu is performed without the curtain and in full costumes. The central Kerala temple town of Tripunithura has a ladies' troupe ( Tripunithura Kathakali Kendram Ladies Troupe) who perform Kathakali.
the other nine are: Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Odissi, Manipuri, Cchau, Satriya, Yaksagana and Bhagavata Mela. A typical Kathakali training centre auditions for students, examining health and physical fitness necessary for the aerobic and active stage performance, the body flexibility, sense of rhythm and an interview to gauge how sincere the student is in performance arts. These plays are written in a particular format that helps identify the "action" and the "dialogue" parts of the performance. In modern times, professional schools train students of Kathakali, with some such as those in Trivandrum Margi school emphasizing a single teacher for various courses, while others such as the Kerala Kalamandalam school wherein students learn subjects from different teachers.
