Stories are at the core of human life. Stories we create and share and capture the wisdom of our life as individuals and of our ecology. The way wisdom is embedded in stories is through its symbols, structures & semantics. Over thousands of years, there have been the evolution and extinction of various stories & traditions. With every extinction, we not only let go of a form of storytelling but also the way it makes us experience the wisdom of our past & present. One such tradition at the brink of its extinction is Kaavad Katha (‘Katha’ means Story) from Rajasthan, India. This performance demonstration will give you a glimpse of kaavad storytelling performance, introduce you to the kaavad tradition, and share some key principles of kaavad katha and painting-based activities to encourage you with the creation of your own kaavad-styled interconnected tales.
The Series:
The Rasa–Rasika series attempts to create a biosphere of art, artists, and connoisseur audiences through lecture demonstrations of Indian traditional art forms. The Kaavad Baithak is the first in that Series.
