Jodhpur RIFF 2026. Venue: Chokelao Garden. Entry: Full Festival pass/ Day Pass. Adishakti- one of India's most rigorous and respected theatre companies, uses the purely physical act of breathing for the stimulation of emotion and psychological expression. As breath is the physical expression of thought and emotion, it implies that a particular emotion has a particular pattern of breath. In this session facilitated by Vinay Kumar - actor, writer and Artistic Director of Adishakti, participants would be taught the 8 patterns of breath for the 8 emotions of Koodiyattam according to Natya Shastra and to explore the various degrees of emotions to communicate even the subtleties of heightened emotions. The participants would start discovering the movement of the facial muscles, eyes for every emotion and learn how to naturally shape or carve the face with the support of breath. The workshop is open to actors, performers, non-performing artists and anyone interested in exploring the relationship between breath, body and emotion. No prior training or experience in theatre or performance is required.
