NatyaSastra, written by Bharata muni thousands of years ago. is the source book for performing arts for the South Asian region. In his magnum opus he talks about dance, drama, theatre, martial arts, music, stage decoration et all!

My take away from it has been that to be a fulfilled complete dancer it is important to draw from other media of expression

Kalari Payattu is a martial art form of Kerala. This is one of the oldest forms of Martial arts. The student starts with practicing the art with bare hands and moves up the learning curve to get trained with weapons.

I have learnt this art form from Mr. Raju Kadamban and Attakalari Centre for Arts. This art is all about jumps, leaps covering the space around you with strong focus on the centre position. I definitely feel that learning this art form has added a new dimensions to lot of my choreography and presentation
