Koothu ((タミル語:கூத்து)), and alternatively spelt as kuttu, means dance or performance in Tamil, it is a folk art originated from the early Tamil country.〔(Dance forms of Tamilnadu )〕〔(Tamilnadu.com )〕 But more precisely Koothu refers to Therukoothu (Tamil:தெருக்கூத்து) that is street dance or street play or street drama〔(Tamil Folk Dances )〕 since it will be performed in the village squares.〔(Theru Koothu )〕 At early age the art of entertainment reached its peak in Tamil country.〔(Madurai Messenger - Times of Madurai - April 2010 : Therukoothu: The People’s Art )〕 Mentioned in the Sangam literatures about the development of iyal (literature), isai (music) and natagam (drama). More than entertainment, therukoothu educates the rural people about religion and their history.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Therukoothu )
Koothu is an informal dance structure, the performances generally depict scenes from ancient epics like Ramayana, Mahabharatha and Tamil classical epics. There will be no dialogues instead only songs. Artists are trained to sing in their own voice and in a high pitch to reach entire crowd, since no technology available that time. The artists dressed up with complex heavy costumes and have a very bright elaborated makeup. They put on high towering head dress, sparkling shoulder plates and wide colorful skirts. Usually the whole trope will be played by males, even female characters also be performed by males.

Another important art form viz, Chakyar koothu is very popular in Kerala. There is mention of this koothu in Silapathikaram.
In early stage there was no proper institution or nattuvanar (teacher) for koothu. Now to encourage the dying art there are some workshops for koothu called ''koothu pattarai''.
