Nancy 2001 – Chidambaram 2007 – Natya Conference 2009 – Carving 2010

In KNS study of the Natyashastra is a very vital part of its curriculum

Beginners learn Adavus (Post 53) and Hastas (Post 74) as given in Natyasastra and Abhinaya Darpana

Juniors learn Bedhas (Post 54) which includes Griva Urva Paadha bedhas

Seniors focus on the 108 Karanas engraved in the walls of the Temples.

Highlight of the presentation at the Natya Conference in 2009 was when the applause came from Smt. Christel Stevens.
