"The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."  - Aristotle.

Today, we visited Guru Gopinath's Kerala Natanagramam. Kerala Natanam can be called a stylished form of Kathakali. Guru Gopinath developed his own style that was appealing to the masses who were then devoid of art and dance without compromising on the classical background.



 We reached there at 10.40am. They welcomed us with soft drink. First we had a class by Dr. Sajeev Nair, a disciple of Guru Gopinath. He described his relation with Guru Gopinath and also about the art forms. At that time we were excited to learn more about the art forms. He enacted some of the navarasas and mudras.



After the class, we walked around the museum and captured the beauty of museum through our mobile phones. We have seen wax statues of different art forms like kathakali, mohiniyattam, margamkali, etc. Some of the art forms were unfamiliar for us.



Later,we watched a short documentary about Theyyam in their 5D theatre and performed dance for different songs. It was a memorable day filled with fun, joy and excitement.
