Kuchipudi is one such unique form of
Art which is the tasteful blend of grace and vigour, elevation and sensuality,
of control and abandon. With its roots buried in the soil of Andhra Pradesh in
India, Kuchipudi was born in a remote Village from which it derived its name.
In the early days, the Kuchipudi style of dance was in the form of dance
dramas, the main purpose being to inculcate divine ecstasy which invokes
immortal bliss and brings one closer to the path of salvation.
The living Legend Padmabushan Dr.
Vempati Chinna Satyam is the only present recognized Guru and Author of
Kuchipudi Dance over the world. He not only followed his Guru's footsteps but
proceeded even further down through the road of revolution. He made a detailed
study of the oldest available treatise on dance.
Kuchipudi is purely classical in
nature and employs Lasya, Thandava and Abinaya with the purpose of
interpretation of Slokas. The classical Indian art also includes Samyutha,
Asamyutha Hasthas, Karana, Chari, Angahara, Mandala, Nrutha Hasthas etc. It is
unique dance form in the sense that it makes intricate use of four Abhinayas
namely Angika, Vachika, Aaharya and Satvica respectively.
