10 Minutes With Shantha : Chapter 19 Summary - Progression to Rasa Sutra
In the 4 part Audio podcast, Shantha introduces the concept of Progression to Rasa Sutra.
The center of the whole performance is the User Experience in the narrative of watching a Bharatanatyam Performance.
This chapter explores Rasa Sutra in Indian performing arts, emphasizing emotional depth in dance as described in the Natya Shastra. It explains how Vibhav (determinants) trigger emotions, which are expressed through Anubhav (gestures and expressions) and enriched by Vyabhichari Bhavas (transitory states).
Shantha explains how seamless is blending of these elements, known as Samyogat, leads to Rasa-Nishpatti, where the audience experiences deep emotional connection. Various Rasas, such as Shringara (love), Veera (valor), Raudra (anger), and Shanta (peace), are explored through movement and storytelling.
The chapter highlights the scientific and psychological aspects of Rasa, showing how Bharatanatyam transforms structured movements into profound artistic expression.
