No link to any -actual- kathakali performance in the description? No snippets from other plays? Such heavy focus on theory gives an illusion of knowledge which does not have any actual experience.
Case in point: 4: 30. Without providing a reference of the actual bhava (performance of an expert, how is any viewer supposed to evaluate your performance? What you did, seemed more like a mockery, than a performance. If you had the decency to show an actual example of the performance, you need not explain the bhava being erotic, the viewers would have understood it immediately. Let me guess, your Chinese opera video is also equally lame.

Yea I think I'll Stick with My Jellicle Make-Up, at least that only takes Half an Hour to put on, and Nothing in the Eyes, Nose, or Mouth, and with Brother Alonzo, Mentor Mistoffelees, and Myself Only the Basic Colors are used. Black and White, with Munkustrap there's some Grey, There are other Colors, but ALL JELLICLES have Black Eyeliner, I'm the Only 1 without Eyebrows. good job on the vid.

Demon dance party? A rather reckless title for a video describing a very intricate and meticulous classical dance form of an ancient culture. why make all effort to learn about an auspicious piece of heritage and reduce it to a -demon dance party- - is this just negligence in research or deliberate irreverence.
Who would make good food and serve it on dirty platter. meh.

I know this is an old video and I probably won't get a response, but in this and a couple of other Asian forms of theater you've covered, the performances were extremely long. Were the audience expected to maintain the rapt attention and fixed seating that Westerners tend to think of when we think of being an audience, or were these a bit more casual, like a rock concert?

The line -by means of your play you protect the whole universe- refers to shiva's -dance- which keeps the energy of the universe active
