DANCING MY WAY OUT-THEYYAMS



                                       In my childhood i really enjoyed the temple atmosphere of dance and music. I would be unconsciously at a trans level when i listen to the theyyam dance to the music.I loved the dancing of the theyyam.Now the theyyam dance is different, that's what attracted me to the DANCE!

                             Theyyam is a malabar dance form where the people(Hindus, and other religions also i have seen in my village)dress up as god with lots of fast and they dance during the festival time. At a particular point of the heights of the dance and music they become very powerful.I mean their unconscious mind gets into total tune with nature and they perform dance and do miracles, which i have personally seen . After the dance and they remove the costume, they behave in the ordinary manner, i was able to do a lot of research on this with the guidance and training of doctor Prasad .Sunderarajan.(A world famous trainer). I felt all of us are blessed to use this unconscious powerful space to make our life beautiful, thus i fell in love with the THEYYAM AND HIS DANCE.

                                   At school i learn t  bharathanatyam  and bit of dancing for the convent related purposes at St.Joseph's-calicut , but  i loved to eat sort of overate and did not take care of my body.And  i was not encouraged at home for nobody danced in our family. But many of my friends told me that i danced well,hence the passion retained secreatly hidden in my heart,also because i was overweight for i overate!.

                                           Now in my 34th year again i wanted to dance  at a stage were i was just overeating and was not physically fit.But i took up the challenge!, my secret wish to dance and i fought the laziness of not exercising!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After three years of practice with the guidance of sreemathi kalamandalam mani teacher, this october i am performing my arangettam of bharathanatyam at the mukambika temple on october 18th,2012. Excited.

                      The starting of the Theyyam spirit in my Spirit mind and body.Theyyams do bless me for taking up this challenge to lead a beautiful life for me and my friends! When we strongly wish something we can make it happen , but we need to work hard too! Let the magic happen!
