Satsangam Centre was founded in 1989, under the inspiration and leadership of the great Kathakali master Kudamaloor Karunakaran Nair, with the collaboration of his disciple Maryse Noiseux. The aim of the center is to preserve, keep alive, diffuse Kathakali and other Art forms of India and its traditional way of teaching (Guru Kulam). The teaching is based on the relationship between pupil and master through living together in an atmosphere of dedication and harmony, which allows the student to go beyond mere technique and to absorb the spirit of the art itself.
