About Workshop

In the series of Cultheater – Culture and Theater Research Association’s international performance/workshop series, the head trainer of Kalari Shangam and Kalarigram institutions of India Lakshman Gurukkal run a workshop titled “Kalaripayattu – An introduction” on 28-29 July 2018. Kalaripayattu is an art of defense that was born in the city of India, Kerela. Despite Kalaripayattu is known as an art of defense, it is also a widely used technique for physical and mental education, bodily discipline and empowerment for performing arts. Etymologically, “kalari” means working space and “payattu” means work/exercise. In the workshop, the participants learned the basic principles and exercises of Kalaripayattu and discover the use of the body in this discipline under the supervision of the experienced trainers of Kalari Shangam and Kalarigram Lakshman Gurukkal and Akshay Sekhar.
