: This is with reference to Pratiba's review report on the 5th Naatyotsavam 08. She has posed a question to us on the relevance of both man and woman expressing the lust (one of six enemies of human (shat ripu) toward the same gender, that is a female . What she means I suppose is that when Gopukiran performed he showed a man's lust towards opposite gender. The same song when Pramila performed she also showed lust towards the same female.
: I appreciate Pratiba noticing such small nuances and bringing to our notice. Actually a solo Bharatanaatyam performer has no gender discrimination, she or he is neutral when interpreting a song. When we usually refer to 'lust' it is the men's unreserved  urge that is predominantly talked about or expressed. So when I choreographed "Raama Varnam" as a Nrityopahaaram I was performing it more than Shanta. so whatever I have been delineating, that passed on to our students not taking into account their male ,female difference. But there is nothing wrong a woman as performer, gesticulating "lust" towards woman. I hope I made it clear.
