Kalamandalam Gopi on his contributions to Kathakali

I was trained under late Kalamandalam Padmanabhan Nair and learned it thoroughly by performing Kottayam stories or the Kathakali plays composed by Kottayathu Thampuran. I follow the stylized body movements learned under him, without loosing its style and charm, follow Natyadharmi or classical school of acting and a bit of Lokadharmi or realistic or unstylised movements in sign language.
