Established in the year 1990, the Kerala Kathakali Centre is a prominent institution in Kochi that conducts Kathakali classes. Nearly 300 years old, Kathakali is a classical dance form originating in Kerala which combines certain aspects of ballet, masque, pantomime and opera. It is a combination of dramatic make-up, facial expressions, mudras and soothing music. This beautiful dance form elucidates ideas and tales from Indian epics - Mahabharata and Ramayana. Besides Kathakali, the centre also aims at popularising and encouraging other classical art forms of the state, such as martial arts and music. It also intends to discover new talent and improve its standard of training through dedication and discipline. You not only can attend the shows organised here, but also opt for daily lessons. A visit to this centre will truly be an enriching and extraordinary experience.
