Patla Sathish Shetty’s work in Yakshagana was the subject of Bunts Daily’s January 2017 profile. The original article celebrated the audience he brought to the art form; its promotional superlatives are not treated here as measurable findings.
Supporting an art and its practitioners
The Yakshadhruva Patla Foundation identifies him as its founder president. Its published aims include performances, workshops, training and research, alongside support for Yakshagana artistes.
The performance tradition
Karnataka Tourism describes Yakshagana as a form of dance-drama bringing together music, dialogue, costume and performance. The bhagavatha has a central singing and storytelling role.
