Therukoothu – literally translates to Street performance in Tamil. I made two Therukoothu necklaces and here they are. I was really captivated by the photos of photographer Prathap A, taken at the Kattaikkuttu Gurukulam in Kanchipuram and Koothu documentary by Amar Ramesh which were the basis of my illustration on photoshop. In the process of looking for more inspiration, I came across some images of Therukoothu – a street drama. however, I could not make jewellery out of it as did not turn out great at the resin stage. I used the karagattam illustration extensively in the labelling and promotional collaterals. Karagattam, Poikaal Kudirai and mayilaatam (peacock dance) were at the top of my list. While working on the Marabu collection, I wanted to touch on several folk dance and theatre performances of Tamil Nadu.
