| ABHINAYA THREE FORMS OF ABHINAYA SATTWIK ABHINAYA ANGIK ABHINAYA AHARYA ABHINAYA |
The Sattwik Abhinaya consists of two elements complementary to each other.They are the Rasa or emotional flavour and the Bhava or the mood to suit a particular emotion. Rasa is the primary and most important requirement of nritya which may be interpreted as emotional flavour or sentiment. The artist must seek to arouse this ecstasy in the spectators so that his emotions and theirs may fuse and become attuned to the spirit of the drama.
Bhava is the secondary and complementary features. Bhavas may be of four kinds.
(a) Vibhava, which is again sub divided in to abalambanam and its accessory Udipan. Love in the Radha Krishna dance may be expressed through the former, while the latter helps the mood with the external aid of a moonlight setting.
(b) Anubhava expresses the effect of a mood such as the ravages of anger or sorrow, or the rapture of love.
(c) Vyavicharibhava pertains to the temporary changes of settings to fit in with the mood of particular scene.
(d) Sattwikbhava consists of eight standardized movement to express such emotions as joy, fear or disgust.
The main difference between the rasa and bhava is that while rasa depends purely on imaginative transfiguration, bhava is more earthy for it is concerned with creating a mood through physical media. Rasas express the beginning of a sentiment while bhavas complete or round it off either through the agency of mana; the brain or of the sharira; the body or through an action such as the throwing of a stone.
Every rasa has its accompanying bhava. There are nine rasas with an equal number of complementary moods
