Kathakali is the classical dance drama of Kerala; a magnificent combination of storytelling, dance, drama, music, costumes, and makeup. This masterpiece of visual theatre originated in the temples of India around 500 years ago and its stories still resonate today.
This all-ages workshop, kindly funded by Arts Council England, will cover the history, costumes and the storytelling principles of Kathakali, and includes a practical mask-making session.
