Dance drama or natya, combines elements of dance and drama to tell a story or convey a message. Coordination among performers ensures that movements are synchronized, creating a smooth and harmonious presentation. Expression is vital as emotions are portrayed through body language, facial expressions and hastamudras, making the performance meaningful. Collaboration is the foundation of natya, requiring every performer to work together, support one another and understand the collective goal. Dance dramas often draw inspiration from cultural, historical or social themes. Through coordination, expression and collaboration, performers bring stories to life, creating a captivating experience for the audience.
