Bharatanatyam Navarasa - classroom

This video contains a freewheeling discussion between the duo that meanders through the aesthetics of and approach to navarasa. Here 'Maami', spurred by her quizzical student, throws open the floodgates of her wisdom accumulated over six decades. The viewer gets a wealth of information straddling rasa, bhava and the subtle differences between the two. How srungara, as an emotion, is commodious enough for the portrayal of other rasas, the convergence of vatsalya and bhakthi with srungara, the importance of understanding the meaning of the composition and mood of the composer, the critical significance of sthayi bhava, vibachari bhava and anu bhava in navarasa portrayal, the most preferred position that an artiste should take to ensure better visibility of the emotions expressed â€" all these aspects come out with a telling clarity.
