Abhinaya is an aspect of Kathak which is marginalised in the high-powered glitz of the proscenium, but, ironically, abhinaya in Kathak has gained ground in the virtual world of cinema and other mediums. Abhinaya, the integral aspect of mimetic art of communicating emotion in Indian performing arts has been much written and discussed.  The spinning bodies amplified by electric feet movements, couturier lighting, and funambulist content defines the thrilling spectacles of Kathak dance performances today but one misses the beauty of Abhinaya for its stillness as much for the delicate beauty that is marginalised in the contemporary display. Based on Krishna-leela and nurtured from within the traditions of Guru Pt. Birju Maharaj, Abhinaya has gained importance with Art lovers over the eras of Indian Moviemaking.
