Sadanam Krishnankutty (born Cherpulassery, 1941) is a cultural artist and a popular performer of Kathakali, a unique classical dance-drama form of Kerala, South India. A recipient of Kerala State Kathakali award[1] and Kalamandalam fellowship,[2][3] he is reputed for his skill in donning a wide range of characters in his acts.[4][5] He received the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award in 2007.[6]
Early life[edit | edit source]
A native of Cherpulassery in Palakkad district, the 1941-born[7] Krishnankutty is primarily a frontline disciple of the late Padma Shri Keezhpadam Kumaran Nair. He had his initial lessons under Thekkinkatil Ramunni Nair, and has also taken eye exercise and Rasa-Abhinaya classes from the late Kudiyattam maestro Natyacharya Padma Shri Guru Mani Madhava Chakyar.[8]
Krishnakutty had his Kathakali lessons at Sadanam Kathakali Akademi (Gandhi Seva Sadan) east of Ottapalam. He was, for a brief while, Kathakali tutor at the Unnayi Varrier Smaraka Kalanilayam in Irinjalakuda and Kala Mandir in Patna. A winner of the Central Sangeet Natak Akademi award (2006),[3] he is known for his breezy portrayal of roles in classical stories as well as newly staged Kathakali plays.
Krishnankutty lives in Irinjalakuda town of Thrissur district.[9]
