    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.

  • 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.

  • Growth of Bharatanatyam During the Anti-Nautch Movement of Colonial Era, Through the Famous Gurus & Their Banis
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 23, Issue 5, Ver. 2 (May. 2018) PP 43-51 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Growth of Bharatanatyam During The Anti-Nautch Movement of Colonial Era, Through The Famous Gurus & Their Banis. Bindu S. Rao (Doctoral Student of PhD program in Dance, University of Mysore, India) Corresponding Author: Bindu S. Rao Abstract :„Bharatanatyam‟ is the most revered classical dance forms of India. It is one of the most studied, respected, depicted, researched, performed and practiced Art today. It has reached it‟s peak form, with great masters, performers and researchers leaving no stone unturned in taking it further.Bharatanatyam fell into Oblivion during the British Raj, just like other ancient Indian techniques like the Yoga, the Ayurveda, Sanskrit, the Gurukul education and much more. Most of the evils of the Hindu way of life were glorified excessively, like the Sati system, the devadasi system, the caste system, the cultures and traditions, Untouchability, the native couture etc. Yoga was considered evil too. Bharatanatyam was mis-understood as Nautch, performed by the degraded class. Most of them who educated in English, and read English literature, were ashamed of their own religious existence. They wanted to get rid off anything that could bring dis-repute, including Bharatanatyam, which they believed was Sadir, a dance of the devadasis. The Anti-Nautch movement started in the late 19th century swept the Southern part of India for about 40 years, and it is believed that dance went into Hibernation, and was revived in the year 1932 and later by the efforts from famous revivalists of the likes of E Krishna Iyer, Rukmini Devi Arundale, V Raghavan and more.

  • Dance As Yoga and for Fitness
    PAPER 8 DANCES AND DANCE DRAMAS OF SOUTH EAST ASIA MASK DANCES OF SOUTH EAST ASIA /ASIA-PACIFIC COUNTRIES RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES FOR PERFORMING ARTS (DANCE) DANCE THERAPY MODULE 35 DANCE AS YOGA AND FOR FITNESS According to Indian philosophy, the practice of an art is considered as a form of yoga. When an artist creates a painting or music or dance, the thought process and the meditation that goes into creating the final tangible outcome is akin to maintaining a yogic posture and transcending from the mundane world.
