Title

LAASYA: CONCEPT AND APPLICATION IN MOHINIAATTAM

Abstract

The ancient Indian texts on dance and dramaturgy go in for a detailed analysis of the two diverse streams of dance namely Laasya (graceful & delicate) and Taandava (vigorous). Naatyashaastra speaks of dance as prelude to drama and uses the terms, laasya, kaisiki and sukumaara in relation to femininity. My attempt, in this essay, is to define Laasya and explore its practical applications in the Nritya (textual dance), Nritta (non-textual dance) and Naatya (acting) segments of Mohiniaattam, the classical female dance heritage of Kerala. An overview of the same, in the two popular and diverse Indian classical dance-forms like Odissi and Bharatanaatyam is furnished besides touching upon its space in the traditional theatre artforms of Kerala . Relevant excerpts from the ancient Indian texts on Performing Arts are quoted to establish the authenticity and significance of the term, Laasya. As a practitioner of Mohiniaattam, I have also analysed a malayala padam from the perspective of Laasya.

Key Words

laasya, taandava, kaisiki, sukumaara, shaastra, nritta, nritya and naatya.
