Kathakali learning
I'm learning the Pacha vesham but my guru says my cholliyattam is still off. The basic adavus are okay but the mukhabhinaya needs a lot of work.

Dance review
The abhinaya was technically perfect but lacked rasa. You could see every mudra clearly but the sahridaya in the audience couldn't connect emotionally. It was padarthabhinaya without vakyarthabhinaya.
