Navarasa Natana Academy Private Limited

Our academy is tucked into the Trinity Complex over at Karamana in Trivandrum. If you know the Thaliyal area, you’ve probably walked past us a few times. Navarasa Natana Academy Private Limited is where we spend our evenings mostly, teaching acting and traditional dance. It gets pretty loud with the music and the footwork, but the neighbors don't seem to mind too much. We have a few rooms set up with mirrors and mats, nothing too extravagant, just what we need to practice. People come from all over Thiruvananthapuram to spend time here. Sometimes the lobby gets a bit cramped when parents are waiting, but we make it work. It’s a bit of a climb up the stairs depending on where you are parked. We don't spend much on big signs or anything. We’d rather just focus on the classes. It’s a lot of hard work, sweating through rehearsals and trying to get the expressions right. The building itself is TC 54/2718(1), and it’s been our home for a while. We aren’t some big chain; it’s just a local spot for people who actually care about the arts. Most of us here have been into performance for years, so it feels natural to be doing this. It is just a regular place where people can come and learn without any pressure to be perfect right away. We are just here every day, keeping the rhythm going.
