Famous Kuchipudi Dancers in Kerala
The
songs in Kuchipudi are mimed with alluring expressions, swift looks and
fleeting emotions evoking the rasa. In Tarangam at times she places a pot full
of water on her head and dances on the brass plate. The song accompanying this
number is from the well known Krishna Leela Tarangini, a text which recounts
the life and events of Lord Krishna
In
expressional numbers a dancer sometimes chooses to enact the role of
Satyabhama, the proud and self-assured queen of Lord Krishna, from the
dance-drama Bhama Kalapam. She goes through various stages of love. When in
separation from Lord Krishna, she recalls the happy days of union and pines for
him. At last they are reunited when she sends him a letter.
