KATHAKALI MEETS CARNICAL HERITAGE PROJECT

Hi Barbara here - we went to the Private View of the New Carnival Company`s exhibition celebrating the life of William Shakespeare showing at Ryde Library, George Street, Ryde, Isle of Wight. The exhibition features the excellent work of local school children who researched, designed and created their own Carnival costumes.  A massive congratulations to everyone concerned. We met so many dedicated and experienced Carnival people and looking forward to working with them  on our heritage project exploring the history, heritage and similarities between Kathakali and Carnival. The immediate link is the use of symbolic colour!
