Classical dancer Methil Devika | Music for the deaf

In Thiruvananthapuram, Indian classical dance experienced a revolutionary moment last month. Exponent of Mohiniyattam Methil Devika began her performance at the Ammaveedu, a traditional center of music and dance, to an enthusiastic audience of people with hearing and speech impairments engrossed in the show in front of them.

However, how did they watch the show? For her “Crossover” performance, Devika combined classical dance’s hasta mudras (hand gestures) with Indian sign language. This was part of her innovative “Dance Philanthropy and Social Inclusion” project. Throughout her remarkable thirty-year career, the dancer has prospered as a performer, scholar, and curator, enthralling art enthusiasts worldwide. However, her current project is particularly important.

“I imagined a dance form I hoped would resonate with the less fortunate during the Covid epidemic, when there was no stage and performances,” explains Devika. The concept of using language to communicate outside the mudra boundaries was revolutionary. The dancer explains, “I learned sign language to connect with their hearts.”
