The uniqueness in the characteristic of Uma Thapasyananda as an artist has been the intensity of her vision, in understanding, absorbing the essence of her themes, taken up for artistic representation through Mohiniattom. So complete is her identification with the roles, that even the lyrics, which best suits the expressions, are penned by Uma herself. Her stage presentations of Sita, of Ramayana, called ‘Aranyakam’ , and Draupadi, of Mahabharatha, called Parshathee Pranaya Parvam’, exhibit the originality of self written lyrics as well as the originality of re-interpretations of historic figures.
A post graduate in English Literature, Uma spent two full decades in research, with the aim of identifying the theoratical foundation and classical base of her chosen medium of expression. The result of this research came out in two forms, as visual creations on stage and the literary contribution called ‘Sukumara Natana Thathwa’. She is at present the founder of a centre for Mohiniattom called ‘Mukthi’ and resides in Thiruvananthapuram, in the State of Kerala, with her husband Swami Thapasyananda and ten year old daughter Vedasmrithi.lihat lebih sedikit
