What is
Kathabhinaya?
Kathābhinaya is my evolving practice of embodied storytelling. It draws from Indian narrative traditions, abhinaya, gesture, song, philosophical reflection, humour, devotional memory, and contemporary theatre. In Kathābhinaya, the performer is not merely a narrator. The performer becomes narrator, actor, commentator, witness, ritual agent, emotional conductor, and sometimes even the space through which the story breathes.
Kathā Koli has explored the idea of story as seed: small, intimate, local, and capable of germinating into collective meaning. Akāśa has engaged with space, resonance, silence, breath, and metaphysical presence. i-Logy has investigated the modern fragmented self, the digital “I,” and the performative crisis of identity.
