'The Elegance'

'The Elegance' Kathak - Booth No. G-39

Artist Thoughts:
Kathak is one of the main genres of ancient Indian classical dance and is traditionally regarded to have originated from the travelling bards of North India referred as Kathakars or storytellers. These Kathakars wandered around and communicated legendary stories via music, dance and songs.

The art tries to capture different poses and celebrate in different colours the grandeur of this beautiful dance form. The artist is simply in awe of Kathak.

'The Composure' - Kathakali

'The Composure' - Kathakali - Booth No. G-49

Artist Thoughts:
Kathakali is a “story play” genre of art, but one distinguished by the elaborately colourful make-up, costumes and face masks that the traditionally male actor-dancers wear. Kathakali is a performing art in the Malayalam-speaking southwestern region of Kerala.

The art tries to show calmness and control over feelings by a Kathakali performer.
