YARGIAnnual Report 2003-2004 rson enactingall popularplays in theirentirety and bringing onstage, revivals ofextinct plays.

In Kutiyattam,the waning phase was more pronouncedand whole plays/acishad

disappearedfrom stageand muchmore gfoundhad to be coveredto build up a stzable

rqJeertoire,which alone can sustainan art for long. Hence,these pfocesses were set in

motionquite early in Margiby Srj.Nair as follows.

{1) Hewrole enlarged performance nanuals for playslike Nalacharitha pads l, ll, lll; Banayudhom;which plays had inflnitescope for elaborationand deep poetic treatment.

(2) He wrote,perhaps for the fi|st time,deiailed performance manuals for extinct plays belongingto the seriesknown as'Ramanatlom" authofed by ihe former ruler of the regionknown as KottarakkaraThampuran (these plays are very signilicantas they mark,the very beginningof the aft of Kalhakaliitself) The plays thus revived were Vischinnabhishekomand Kharavadhomand Sethubhanandanam(compiled by ScholarSri. S.Ganesalyeo

(3) For Kutiyattam,the revivals were Acts l, lll and Vll of Sakihibhadra's Ascharyachoodamaniand Act ll of KulasekharaVarman's Subhadra Dhananjayam.The performancemanoals were preparedfor Maagiby Veteran Guru PadmashreeAmmannur lvadhava Chakiar. N4oreground was covered lat€rby addingBhasa's Mantrankom and lvlahendfaVikraman's firathavilasom {taughtto Margiartistes by the veteranGuru Sri. P.K.N.Nambiar)

ForNangiarkoothu, in addition to the 'SriKrishna Charitham' series, Sri Ramacharithamby tulargl Sathi is also being enacledcontinuously in the lvlargiprogrammes. Other addrtionsare Subhadre'sNirvahanam in ActV of SubhadraDhananiavam.

Everyyear Margi'sworking prog.amme consists of trainingon lhe themesselected from the foreloingextensive material and pedoming them onstage. In thisforrnat each session js a new presentalion,a challengein creativityfor actor,singer and pefcussionisialike to continuously honetheir respeclive innovative talents. This greatly helps to fevitalizethe arts
