  • Indian Classical Dance Is a Relatively New Umbrella Term for Various Codified Art Forms Rooted in Natya, the Sacred Hindu Musica
    CLASSICAL AND FOLK DANCES IN INDIAN CULTURE Palkalai Chemmal Dr ANANDA BALAYOGI BHAVANANI Chairman: Yoganjali Natyalayam, Pondicherry. INTRODUCTION: Dance in India comprises the varied styles of dances and as with other aspects of Indian culture, different forms of dances originated in different parts of India, developed according to the local traditions and also imbibed elements from other parts of the country. These dance forms emerged from Indian traditions, epics and mythology. Sangeet Natak Akademi, the national academy for performing arts, recognizes eight distinctive traditional dances as Indian classical dances, which might have origin in religious activities of distant past. These are: Bharatanatyam- Tamil Nadu Kathak- Uttar Pradesh Kathakali- Kerala Kuchipudi- Andhra Pradesh Manipuri-Manipur Mohiniyattam-Kerala Odissi-Odisha Sattriya-Assam Folk dances are numerous in number and style, and vary according to the local tradition of the respective state, ethnic or geographic regions. Contemporary dances include refined and experimental fusions of classical, folk and Western forms. Dancing traditions of India have influence not only over the dances in the whole of South Asia, but on the dancing forms of South East Asia as well. In modern times, the presentation of Indian dance styles in films (Bollywood dancing) has exposed the range of dance in India to a global audience. In ancient India, dance was usually a functional activity dedicated to worship, entertainment or leisure. Dancers usually performed in temples, on festive occasions and seasonal harvests. Dance was performed on a regular basis before deities as a form of worship. Even in modern India, deities are invoked through religious folk dance forms from ancient times.

  • Giddha Folk Dance: an Embodiment of Healing Through Creative Artistic Punjabi Dance Culture and Connection with Somatic Dance Therapy & Practice
    GIDDHA FOLK DANCE: AN EMBODIMENT OF HEALING THROUGH CREATIVE ARTISTIC PUNJABI DANCE CULTURE AND CONNECTION WITH SOMATIC DANCE THERAPY & PRACTICE Giddha is a form of folk dance from the land of five rivers called Punjab in North- Western part of India. So many rivers in one place signifying fertility and precious land for cultivation and farming. Punjabi culture is filled with vibrancy and fun loving loud people. They believe in expressing themselves with full power and intensity. Punjabi dances are based around energy and happiness. This form has freedom, expression, dramatic voice, facial and body dialoguing. It is a kinaesthetic, preoperceptive and muscular activity with elements of clapping and voicing emotions. It is an act of body, mind and emotions. Clapping helps to release toxins and also can be related to acupressure, as this triggers the points that effect major inner body organs. This form of movement exploration is therapeutic and has the ability to heal from a holistic perspective. Healing here is not when one goes into hospital and finds external source of therapy but from this perspective it simply means uniting the wholeness of being. This supports body, mind and spirit energy, bringing many people together to perform in a sacred circle; thus helping socialising to become artistic and motivational. It allows women of small knit family structures, villages and controlled environment societies to voice their inner feelings and releasing painful toxins through singing, dancing and bodily expression. It gives time to people to release everything in a joking fun loving manner and especially in a non- judgmental circle.

  • Magnitude of Folk Performing Arts in the Life of the People of Kanyakumari District – a Case Study
    © 2018 JETIR June 2018, Volume 5, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Magnitude of Folk Performing Arts in the Life of the People of Kanyakumari District – A Case Study C. Gomathavalli Assistant Professor, Department of History Government Arts and Science College, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari District, Tamilnadu, India-629504. Abstract This study attempts to analyse the importance of folk performing arts, which are the real modes of entertainment for folks and way of veneration of their deities, in the social life of people of Kanyakumari district. Villuppaatu (82%), kanuyankoothu (11%), Karagaattam 6%) and Kalialattam (1%) are very important in Hindu temples managed by villagers, of which villuppattu is inevitable in the temples of deities such as Mutharaman, Isakiyamman, Vaathai saami, Bathrakali amman, Boothathan sami, Pitchaikalasami and Aaldibothi, Kaniyankoothu is well-liked in Sudalaimadan temples, Karagaattam is a rule in some Mutharamman temples, Kalialaattam is austerely a mode of entertainment in the temple festivals irrespective of the deity. Villuppattu, Kaniyan koothu and Karaga attam seem to be inevitable in Hindu temples while Kaliyal attam has occupied a high place in the festivals of Christians as well as Hindu temples; the other folk performing arts are being executed during the cultural festivals and even temple festivals for entertainment. This paper presents the real situation of folk performing arts among the people of Kanyakumari district, at present, to reveal their social impacts, economic impacts and cultural impacts on different castes of people and the conditions of artisans in the society. Keywords: Folk performing arts, castes, religions, social, cultural, financial. Introduction Kanyakumari district, the southernmost district of Tamilnadu state, lies between 77º 15' and 77º 36' of the eastern longitudes and between 8º 03' and 8º 35' of the northern latitudes.

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 name Bharatnatyam is gotten from the word "Bharata’s" and subsequently connected with the Natyashashtra. Though the style of Bharatnatyam is over two thousand years old, the freshness and lavishness of its embodiment has been held even today. The strategy of human development which Bharatnatyam takes after can be followed back to the fifth Century A.D. from sculptural proof. This established move has an entrancing impact as it inspires the artist and the spectator to a larger amount of profound cognizance.
