    Ashish Mohan Khokar INDIAN DANCE TODAY. AN HISTORICAL OVER-VIEW [Ashish Mohan Khokar è probabilmente il più importante critico e studioso di danza in India. Ha studiato danza, ha lavorato in diverse accademie di danza, è critico del principale quotidiano indiano, «The Times of India», collabora con diversi altri quotidiani, è il direttore dell’unico Annale di danza in India, «Attendance». Ha scritto molti li- bri sulla danza. E` figlio di Mohan Khokar, senz’altro il più grande stu- dioso di danza indiano dell’ultima generazione. Sta creando il primo Archivio di Danza in India, partendo dall’immensa collezione del pa- dre. Per maggiori dettagli si possono vedere: www.attendance- india.com e www.dancearchivesofindia.com.] 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, ex- cept in dance-theatre forms. Over two thousand unbroken years, it has grown to become the longest continuous dance culture, afford- ing 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 be- come strings of movements, through which individual characteristics and a grammar is set which makes each form distinct and thus, with age and tradition, classical.
