  • How Modern India Reinvented Classical Dance
    ESSAY espite considerable material progress, they have had to dispense with many aspects of the the world still views India as an glorious tradition that had been built up over several ancient land steeped in spirituality, centuries. The arrival of the Western proscenium stage with a culture that stretches back to in India and the setting up of modern auditoria altered a hoary, unfathomable past. Indians, the landscape of the performing arts so radically that too, subscribe to this glorification of all forms had to revamp their presentation protocols to its timelessness and have been encouraged, especially survive. The stone or tiled floor of temples and palaces Din the last few years, to take an obsessive pride in this was, for instance, replaced by the wooden floor of tryst with eternity. Thus, we can hardly be faulted in the proscenium stage, and those that had an element subscribing to very marketable propositions, like the of cushioning gave an ‘extra bounce’, which dancers one that claims our classical dance forms represent learnt to utilise. Dancers also had to reorient their steps an unbroken tradition for several millennia and all of and postures as their audience was no more seated all them go back to the venerable sage, Bharata Muni, who around them, as in temples or palaces of the past, but in composed Natyashastra.

  • 8-Rukshana Zaman.Pmd
    Man In India, 95 (1) : 83-96 © Serials Publications PRACTICING DANCE AND ANTHROPOLOGY Rukshana Zaman This autoethnographical account is based on empirical fieldwork and personal experience as a dancer born in a Muslim family, and expresses the contestation of two separate world views and their reconciliation in the academic and intellectual world. Here, I trace the journey of my life - born in a Muslim family, training in Odissi dance, and becoming a performer. This autoethnography reflects on my struggles in breaking the stereotypical norms to establish my identity in a society where dancing by girls is not encouraged. The Odissi dance, dedicated to the worship of Lord Jagannath, was a temple dance practiced solely by the maharis (female temple dancers commonly known as devadasis in South India), and was a part of Hindu temple tradition. Islam as a religion does not endorse idol worship and dance and music are considered taboos. Many times, during fieldwork, values and norms were misconstructed leading to misinterpretation of cultural ethos, and I constantly had to negotiate my identity at various times. In India, many Muslim women are associated with art and dance, and some are well known in their fields, forcing one to reflect on the syncretic tradition of the sub-continent and the more liberal traditions of Islam. I My identity as an Assamese Muslim1 is always met with awed expressions. The first statement that comes my way is, “You don’t look like an Assamese, you don’t have the Mongoloid features”. The next statement is, “Oh, you don’t look like a Muslim either as you don’t have the Pathan features - neither tall nor fair skinned”.

  • 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.
