Question

What was the special role of the nattuvanars? What impact do you think it will have on the dance if they are replaced by dancers themselves?

Answer 1

The nattuvanars of yesteryear had thorough and formal preparing in nattuvangam and singing and playing on mridangam too. The conventional nattuvangam was a choreographer, as well. There is an off-base thought that movement implies a moving course of action just for present-day subjects.

Indeed, even the Margam of a widespread move program calls for choreographic aptitudes in connection to move developments as well as acharya, lighting, and so on. The nattuvangam was likewise a master. Silappadikaram calls him adalasiriyan.
