A
workshop on the conservation of palm-leaf manuscripts in the Kutiyattam
tradition conducted by Ammannur Chachu Chakyar Smaraka Gurukulam in
collaboration with the National Mission for Manuscripts, New Delhi and
UNESCO Japan-Funds-In-Trust on “Safeguarding and Transmission of
Kutiyattam Sanskrit Theatre”
The families of traditional practitioners of Kutiyattam
possessed various texts written on palm-leaf which were handed down from
generation to generation. This literature of Kutiyattam consists of
Kramadipika (Production Manual), Attaprakaram (Acting Manual) Nirvahana
Sloka (quatrains describing the anecdote concerned), Vidushaka sloka
(quatrains followed by Vidushaka), Tamil colloquial expressions, Tala
prasaram (rhythm pattern) and various other topics. The objective of the
workshop is to give necessary expertise in the preservation of centuries
old manuscripts to the owners of the manuscripts those who pose them.
The workshop also aims to create an awareness to the Kutiyattam
community the importance of such valuable documents which are very much
part of the tradition.
The present generation of Kutiyattam artistes are not
familiar with the kind of language and terms used in many of such
manuscripts. The first half of the workshop will be concentrating on the
conservation aspect of the manuscripts and the second half will be on
the content aspect. Experts from the National Mission of Manuscripts
will be the main resource persons to give guidance in the conservation
aspect. Several scholars and performers will present lectures and
demonstrations about the content of the manuscripts which preserved the
Kutiyattam tradition for centuries.We also keep a provision for
supporting few selected families to purchase basic equipments for proper
storage of manuscripts.
