Kalaripayattu with Movement and Voice:

The session will be based on the basic forms of the southern style of
Kalaripayattu. Among the oldest forms of martial arts in the world,
the entirely Indian martial art form of Kalaripayattu is based on
ancient knowledge of the physical and spiritual aspects of the human
body. Through organic movements comprising stretches, lunges and
twists, it enhances breath focus, and thus gives stillness, grounding
and centring; leading to greater self-awareness and an awakening of
the inner, creative potential. In this session, open to all, we will
work with the basic movement sequences of the southern style of
Kalaripayattu, which focus on the four cardinal directions. Along with
Kalari, we will work on structured and free-form guided improvisation
with movement and the voice, to create a sense of holistic, joyful,
self-awareness.

The workshop is open to actors, dancers, teachers, sportspeople and
anyone above fifteen wanting to explore in depth the connection
between body, mind and spirit.

About the facilitator:
Arka Mukhopadhyay is a physical performer, teacher and independent
researcher, whose work draws upon various performing, martial and
spiritual forms of practice. He is the founder of the Kolkata based
collective, The Arshinagar Project, and his performances, workshops
and talks have taken him all across India and abroad.
