Students of Kathakali have to undergo rigorous training replete with
oil massages and separate exercises for eyes, lips, cheeks, mouth
and neck. Abhinaya or expression is of prime importance as is nritya
or dance and geetham or singing.
Together with highly evocative facial expressions, the mudras and
the music both vocal and instrumental, Kathakali unfolds stories from
a bygone era in a lofty style reminiscent of the Greek plays. Kerala
Kalamandalam , is the prominent institution imparting Kathakali training
in the traditional way.
