Natyashastra (theatrics and dramaturgy)
Source: Wisdom Library: Nāṭya-śāstraĀcchurita (आच्छुरित).—One of the 32 aṅgahāras (major dance movement) mentioned in the Nāṭyaśāstra chapter 4. The instructions for this ācchurita-aṅgahāra is as follows, “assuming Nūpura Cārī, turning the Trika round, assuming Vyaṃsita-karaṇa and again turning round the Trika, then assuming successively Alātaka-karaṇa from the left [side] and Sūcī, Karihasta and Kaṭicchinna Karaṇas.”.
An aṅgahāra represents a ‘major dance movement’ and consists of a sequence of karaṇas (minor dance movements). A karaṇa combines sthāna (standing position), cārī (foot and leg movement) and nṛttahasta (hands in dancing position).
Natyashastra (नाट्यशास्त्र, nāṭyaśāstra) refers to both the ancient Indian tradition (shastra) of performing arts, (natya—theatrics, drama, dance, music), as well as the name of a Sanskrit work dealing with these subjects. It also teaches the rules for composing Dramatic plays (nataka), construction and performance of Theater, and Poetic works (kavya).
