These facets have been responsible for sustaining the long continuities of ancient traditions. They are the link between the past and the present. It thus exemplifies the complex, organic interaction of all aspects of life implicit in all tribal and folk art forms; art is not seen as something apart from life, a mere ornamentation or entertainment, but as an intrinsic part of it. Page !1 of !36 Pre-historic Cave painting, Bhimbetka, Madhya Pradesh Under the patronage of Kings and rulers, skilled artisans and entertainers were encouraged to specialize and to refine their skills to greater levels of perfection and sophistication. Gradually, the classical forms of Art evolved for the glory of temple and palace, reaching their zenith around India around 2nd C.E. onwards and under the powerful Gupta empire, when canons of perfection were laid down in detailed treatise - the Natyashastra and the Kamasutra - which are still followed to this day. Through the ages, rival kings and nawabs vied with each other to attract the most renowned artists and performers to their courts. While the classical arts thus became distinct from their folk roots, they were never totally alienated from them, even today there continues a mutually enriching dialogue between tribal and folk forms on the one hand, and classical art on the other; the latter continues to be invigorated by fresh folk forms, while providing them with new thematic content in return.

  • The Tradition of Kuchipudi Dance-Dramas1
    The Tradition of Kuchipudi Dance-dramas1 Sunil Kothari The Historical Background Of the many branches of learning which flourished in Andhra from very early ti.mes not the least noteworthy is the tradition of the Natyashastra, embracing the tw1n arts of music and dance. The Natyashastra mentions the Andhra region m connection with a particular style of dance in the context of the Vritti-s. Bharata refers to Kaishiki Vrittt: a delicate and graceful movement in the dance of this reg1on .2 A particular raga by the name of Andhri was the contribution of this region to the music of India. The dance traditions in Andhra can be traced to various sources. The ancient temples, the Buddhist ruins excavated at Nagarjunakonda, Amaravati, Ghantasala, Jagayyapet and Bhattiprole indicate a flourishing dance tradition in Andhra. Of these the Amaravati stupa relics are the most ancient dating back to the second century B.C.3 They reveal the great choreographic possibilities of group and composite dances called pind1bandha-s, mentioned by Bharata and on which Abhinavagupta gives a detailed commentary in Abhinava Bharat1: 4 The history of dance, divided into two periods for the sake of convenience on account of the continuity of the Sanskrit and the later development of the vernacular regional languages, admits of two broad limits : from the second century B.C. to the ninth century A.D. and from the tenth century A.D. to the eighteenth century A.D. The latter period coincides with the growth of various regional styles and with the development of the tradition of Kuchipudi dance­ dramas.

  • Devotional Hindu Dance
    Devotional Hindu Dance “Dr. Sabrina D. MisirHiralall is a rare combination of academically based religious studies, education, and philosophy scholar who is an accomplished practitioner of Kuchipudi Hindu dance with a faith-based approach to Hinduism. She brings these qualities to bear on the topic of restoring Hindu dance from a corruption by colonialism to a postcolonial religious and devotional experience that more closely relates to the origins of Hindu dance. Through historical recounting and self-­ study, Dr. MisirHiralall makes a case for restoring the sacred in Hindu dance. All who read this text will beneft from understanding the need for a postcolonial awareness that comprehends the complexities of religion and culture.” —Michael D. Waggoner, Professor of Postsecondary Education, University of Northern Iowa, and Editor of Religion & Education “Through a postcolonial self-study, Dr. Sabrina D. MisirHiralall challenges con- ceptions of Hindu dance as “culture” as she reclaims Hindu dance as a form of sacred devotional practice, with ontological rather than just epistemological impli- cations. In this book, Devotional Hindu Dance: A Return to the Sacred, Dr. MisirHiralall also challenges Cartesian assumptions of the split between mental and physical realms. She illustrates how embodied knowledge and movement can illuminate important distinctions between religion and culture.” —Vanessa de Oliveira Andreotti, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Race, Inequalities and Global Change, The University of British Columbia, Canada “Devotional Hindu Dance: A Return to the Sacred stands at the cutting-edge of numerous directions in the study of religion and with our work as public intellec- tuals to cultivate the common good.

  • Men in Dance with Special Emphasis on Kuchipudi, a South Indian
    Men in Dance with Special Emphasis on Kuchipudi, a South Indian Classical Dance Tradition Presented at International Word Congress of Dance Research By Rajesh Chavali (MA Kuchipudi) Introduction India is a country of diverse languages, religions, cultures and castes, all assimilated seamlessly with great integrity. We must acknowledge this is not a political decision but rather a course of evolution and history. A historic perspective of ancient India with several invasions and rulers of India that didn’t belong to that land influenced a lot of what we see in todays’ India. As we can imagine and nothing out of ordinary, India has seen several intrinsic and extrinsic influences including socioeconomic condition, political influences, power struggle, hierarchy in the caste system, acceptance of the roles of man and woman in the social ecosystem, development and adoption of a variety of religions and philosophical schools of thoughts. For the scope of the current paper at this congress, I’ll focus briefly on these influences and how Indian dances evolved over time and will present more detailed discussion of origin of Kuchipudi, a south Indian classical dance form as a male tradition in Indian classical dance history to its current state. Extrinsic and Intrinsic Influences on Developing India over the Years India, as a country, has undergone several political invasions, major influencers being Mughal and British invasions. The existing cultural dances of India (classical or other non-classical forms or non-classical forms of those times that later attained classical status) in parts of the country were heavily influenced by these invasions while the relatively untouched or inaccessible parts of India, such as northeast part of India largely retained their identity.

  • Yojana Magazine Summary for August 2020 Issue
    Philosophical Nature of Indian Music • The Indian classical music, be it Hindustani or Carnatic, has essentially got a spiritual component inherent in it.

For these practitioners, music became an internal journey for the realisation of the ultimate truth. • Even the selection of the Raga and the composition at the time of a performance was a result of the intuition and the inspiration of the moment. B. The Guru-Shishya and Gharana tradition • It is another crucial feature which is common for all the classical music traditions of India. For centuries, this Guru-shishya transmission has made it possible to carry forward the intense experiences innately embedded in this great tradition of enlightened practitioners of music. • The musical gharanas of north Indian or Hindustani classical music have also contributed to the diversity of their form of music by presenting a distinct style of it.
