  • Some Thoughts on Odissi Dance*
    Some Thoughts on Odis si Dance* DlNANA TH PATRY J. TH EO BSESS ION WIT H CLASS iCiSM n the Indian context there is nothing called classicism. The Sanskr it word shastriya, I which is generally believed to be a translation of'classic' or 'the classical', represents a misunderstanding ofboth the words. 'classicism' and shastriya. A shastra is a written text, a codified version of the practices of a given period which tri es to claim an authority in a subsequent period oflime. Dependence on the practice (prayoga) and later on the textual prescription becomes a tradi tion (jJarampara) with the peopl e who follo w it. While the shastra or the text remains constant, the practices that form the tradition become variables. Therefore, a need arises to write different texts in different periods oftime. To comprehend and contexrualize the variables in textual codifications, scholars resort to new interpreta· tions (commentaries) and such attempts finally emb ody regional aspirations. While there is a basic text like Narya Shastra, there are oth er texts like Nartananimaya I. Nartananim aya is a remarkable work in that it marks a transiti on al point in the evolution of dance in India. In contrast with its prec ursors in the field. which follow in the main the descriptions of danc es given by Bharata in Natya Shastra, the Nartananimaya describes entirely new forms. These new forms were shaped by regional styles that were not included. though their existence was acknowledged by Bharata, wh ich was term ed by his successors marga, that is, the main path .

  • Module 1 Dance in India Today an Overview
    PAPER 6 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY, DANCE-DRAMAS, CREATIVITY WITHIN THE CLASSICAL FORMS, INDIAN CLASSICAL DANCE IN DIASPORA (USA, UK, EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) MODULE 1 DANCE IN INDIA TODAY AN OVERVIEW Indian classical dance traditions have been borne out of a sense of propitiation of the divinity. A certain spiritual content has always been its mainstay. It has also been essentially the art of a soloist, except in dance-theatre forms. Over two thousand unbroken years, it has grown to become the longest continuous dance culture, affording an interesting insight into man and his relationship to stage in general and dance art, in particular. Its classical nature comes through by a set of code of grammar, content and concept. Thus, if in one form, the knees are to be bent while performing and a half-sitting position maintained all through, then it cannot be altered. The position of hands, the use of eyes, neck, torso and feet, all go towards making dance units, which become strings of movements, through which individual characteristics and a grammar is set which makes each form distinct and thus, with age and tradition, classical. The content is mostly mythological. These forms evolved over centuries, and it is believed, these were created to please gods and their representatives on earth. The myth goes that the gods were bored and asked the wisest amongst them – Brahma, the creator, - to create some form of entertainment that would involve and engage all. Brahma enlisted the help of sages, of whom Bharata, was given the specific task of writing a new Veda, (the holy treatises of which four existed already - Rig, Saama / साम, Yajur / यजुर and Atharva / अथ셍व) the fifth Veda called the Natyashastra, and through this work, the details of modern dramaturgy in India were born.

  • The Debaprasad Das Tradition: Reconsidering the Narrative of Classical Indian Odissi Dance History Paromita Kar a Dissertation S
    THE DEBAPRASAD DAS TRADITION: RECONSIDERING THE NARRATIVE OF CLASSICAL INDIAN ODISSI DANCE HISTORY PAROMITA KAR A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO DECEMBER 2013 @PAROMITA KAR, 2013 ii Abstract This dissertation is dedicated to theorizing the Debaprasad Das stylistic lineage of Indian classical Odissi dance. Odissi is one of the seven classical Indian dance forms recognized by the Indian government. Each of these dance forms underwent a twentieth century “revival” whereby it was codified and recontextualized from pre-existing ritualistic and popular movement practices to a performance art form suitable for the proscenium stage. The 1950s revival of Odissi dance in India ultimately led to four stylistic lineage branches of Odissi, each named after the corresponding founding pioneer of the tradition. I argue that the theorization of a dance lineage should be inclusive of the history of the lineage, its stylistic vestiges and philosophies as embodied through its aesthetic characteristics, as well as its interpretation, and transmission by present-day practitioners. In my theorization of the Debaprasad Das lineage of Odissi, I draw upon Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the habitus, and argue that Guru Debaprasad Das's vision of Odissi dance was informed by the socio-political backdrop of Oriya nationalism, in the context of which he choreographed, but also resisted the heavy emphasis on coastal Oriya culture of the Oriya nationalist movement. My methodology for the project has been ethnographic, supported by original archival research.

  • Constructing and Performing the Odissi Body: Ideologies
    CONSTRUCTING AND PERFORMING THE ODISSI BODY: IDEOLOGIES, INFLUENCES AND INTERJECTIONS Aastha Kumar Independent Research Scholar Institutional Affiliation: Jawaharlal Nehru University Ideologies Reviving the Odissi Form Post- independence, the image of the Indian woman became an essential marker of the Hindu cultural identity, which further defined the image for the emerging dancing body; the auspicious, civilized body invoking, practicing and representing all that is “pure” and “sanctified”. It is in this respect that we need to see and understand the re- construction of Indian classical dances, specifically Odissi dance, as the area of study in this research. The dancing body of the woman had already shifted from the popular space of mela (carnival) or the ritual space of the temples to a more “dignified” and secular space, respectively, with codifying of Bharatanatyam in 1930’s. Deriving from the colonial idea of civilized entertainment; the proscenium stage, best suited for the middle/ upper class woman had by now taken on the role of the preserver and mediators of Indian culture. Under the aegis of two concurrent movements, ignited by the nationalists as part of the Indian independence struggle to claim the position of Indian culture vis- a- vis that of the west cleansing of the lowly practices and resurrection of the ‘pure’ upper caste © 2013 Aastha Kumar Journal of Emerging Dance Scholarship 1 practices, became the foremost objectives. Hindu reformers, for whom the new criteria for civilization and culture was much influenced by the western notions of a civilized society, intended to do away with the “obscure” and “sexual”, which was mainly associated with the lower caste, and with the popular and the frivolous, as a part of the revivalist movement (Gupta, 2001; 105).
