Kalaripayattu is the ancient martial art form of Kerala. Today, it is gaining recognition as a useful and rigorous training for all performers who use their bodies as an instrument, especially dancers and actors. In this short but intense 10 day workshop, Belraj Soni introduces the basic stances, exercises, kicks and techniques of Kalaripayattu, particularly intended to provide a new perspective on movement for dancers, actors, athletes or anyone interested in challenging their bodies in a new way!
Belraj Soni who will be conducting these sessions has been trained intensively in the Gurukula tradition at the Vallabhatta Kalari Sangham, Chavvakad.
