Description
Satvikabhinaya refers to the facial expression used in Kathakali. Satvikabhinaya is one of the four dramatic elements used in Kathakali. A facial expression is one or more motions or positions of the muscles beneath the skin of the face. According to one set of controversial theories, these movements convey the emotional state of an individual to observers. Facial expressions are a form of nonverbal communication used in dance, drama or other art forms.
