The Basics Of Bharatanatyam (3N)


Today I want to step back a bit and explore the basics of Bharatanatyam. As you know, Bharatanatyam is usually known for having three distinct components or aspects:
Nritta, Nrittya and Natya

To quickly summarize, we can refer to them as the 3N s the dance form. What does each one?

Nritta is pure dance or dance sequences that are not of interpretation. This means that these movements or gestures steps are not intended to convey a message or idea. They are mainly intended to bring the beauty of the dance form. Adavus (described above) form the basis Nritta.

other is an interpretive dance Nrittya and involves a lot of feelings, emotions and description. The actions in this flow to transmit messages representing a king, indicating that it is time, etc. This morning, leg, hand, neck, head and eye movements to convey the message.

Natya is a dance drama and its main technical Abhinaya. It is to act on a story for the public by means of expression. So the actors to dress as a character. Natya is normally done with a theme mythologial such as stories or Ramayana Krishnaleela, etc. For example. This implies that parts of the Ramayana or Mahabharata.
