​@dsourceindia Shri Guru Sadanam Balakrishnan was born in 1944 in Taliparamba, North Kerala, and developed a strong passion for Kathakali from an early age. He was trained by Guru Kondiveetil Narayanan Nair under esteemed patronage and went on to choreograph and produce over 25 new Kathakali plays, greatly enriching the traditional repertoire. In addition to choreography, he has written Attakathas and composed music. His Kathakali adaptation of Shakespeare’s *Othello* is considered a masterpiece and remains one of the most popular productions today. He is also widely regarded as one of the finest Kathakali teachers of his time.
