The workshop has opened windows into the world of Vidyapathi, Kabir and Surdas for me. One observed Abhinaya ranging from Bhakti to vatsalyam to sringara. The understanding that poems by the North Indian Poets are not very different from the poetry of the Kshetragna or Sarangapani or the Tamil Saints, all steeped in Srigara or vatsatyam or Bhakti. With the language of Bharatanatyam, how then should one treat the music and the interpretation to suggest a difference, if at all.
