Celebrating the enrichment of the Contemporary Artist through Kutiyattam

Sasi was invited to give a speech at the virtual celebration of Kutiyattam master teacher Gopalan Venu's 50th Navarasa Sadhana workshop, an actor-training methodology that was first developed in ITI and subsequently taught to more than 300 artistes. 

"This is the great achievement of the Navarasa Sadhana. It gives us a sense of predictability and assurance in order to convey the truth of the emotions, and it enables the actor to achieve the highest form of his craft, which is vulnerability."
~ ITI Director T. Sasitharan
