Bharatanatayam Shabdam by Monica Sridhar

Shabdam Ragam:Ragamalika Talam:Mishra-Chapu
During this item the dancer introduces abhinaya for the first time in the repertoire. The abhinaya composed to simple sahityam is usually separated by easy korvais.This item is usually in misra chapu taalam and the most common ones are in praise of Lord Rama/ Lord Krishna. Generally its like telling a synopsyins in the first line then giving a description in the later repetitiions. after the stanza, there is very simple footsteps. the number of stanzas can vary from 2-4 or 5. Each stanza can contain a different story of all of them put together is one single story. but essentially its about one person, one theme. usually composed in ragamalika and misrachapu tala(thakita takadhimi)
The movements here are leisurely. In the Sabdam, emotions are withheld at the beginning; thereafter, when the dancer has clarified herself, they are released in a measured and disciplined manner.
