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. It is a moving style that involves of Bhava, Raga, Tala, and Natya which mirror the genuine importance of the Bharatnatyam. Bharatnatyam is apparently the most established and most customary classical dance style which seems a blend of theory, model, music and writing. This move got its name from Sage Bharata’s who composed the Natya Shastra. Bharatnatyam is an energetic dance from wherein the stances and adjusted position, i.e. the heaviness of the body is put solidly down the focal point of the body. There is accentuation on the hitting of the floor with the feet. There are bounced noticeable all around as likewise pirouettes called bhramaris. There are developments finished with the knees reaching the floor. These are called Mandi adavus. Bharatnatyam can be performed solo or in a gathering. The unadulterated move is called nritta and the expressive is Nrityam. The performance artist utilizes different strategies for narrating to decipher the verses and stories she performs. The individual who leads the presentation is known as the natatuvanar, who is by and large the master of the artist. He or the plays the cymbals called nattuvangam. Alternate performers are the vocalist, the mridangist or percussion player, of flute player, a violinist and a veena player. One of the best entertainers of Bharatnatyam has been Balasaraswati who was persuasive in advancing the move as much as Rukmini Devi Arundale. Balasaraswati was celebrated for her heartfelt renderings of abhinaya or mimetic piece, in which she moved as well as sang also. The Steps and Performance Bharatnatyam is constantly performed with the knees of the artists twisted. The move frame accentuates on the hand developments to pass on various types of feelings to the observer. While performing Bharatnatyam, the craftsman envisions his/her body as comprised of triangles. The means of the move depend on an adjusted circulation of body weight and firm places of the lower appendages, enabling the hands to cut into a line, to stream around the body, or to take positions that upgrade the fundamental shape. With a specific end goal to perform Bharatnatyam, the craftsman ought to have the learning of the various unpretentious components of the move style. Four Techniques: Karanas Depicted in Natya Shastra, Karanas are characterized as the 108 key transitional developments of Bharatnatyam that additionally highlight in other established move types of India. Karana is a Sanskrit word, signifying 'doing'. Traditional artist Padma Subramanyam is notable for her elucidation of Karanas, which transcendently incorporates the leg, hip, body and arm developments supplemented by hasta mudras, as portrayed in the Natya Shastra. Hastas The utilization of expressive hand signals is a highlighting highlight of Bharatnatyam. As the name recommends, hastas are the wide assortment of hand images utilized by the entertainer. Probably the most surely understood hand signals of the move frame incorporate Anjali, which is utilized as an image of welcome, when a man welcomes his/her kindred artist. Hastas are comprehensively separated into two sorts - Asamyukta and Samyukta. Adavus Adavus is characterized as a progression of ventures in Bharatnatyam. The execution of the means is not quite the same as style to style. The 108 principals of adavus are perceived by most schools of Bharatnatyam. Upwards of 60 adavus are utilized by numerous expert artists. Jathis is the blend of adavus and structures the Nritta entries in a Bharatnatyam execution. Bhedas, Eye and Neck Movements Bharatnatyam is viewed as deficient without beads and the expressive eye developments of the entertainer. Neck and eye developments are utilized widely in the m o v e f r a m e . T h e shiro bheda (head developments) involves Sama, Udhvahita, Adhomukha, Alolita, Dhutam, Kampitam, Paravruttam, Utkshiptam and Parivahitam. Kuchipudi Kuchipudi outfit It appears to be like those well used in Bharatnatyam move. Rich footwork is an imperative part of Kuchipudi. Another particular part of this move is that in extraordinary Exhibitions, the move is executed on metal plate and moving the plate with the feet to the tune of the going with music. However another is the arrangement of wonderful floor designs utilizing effective feet developments. The entertainer needs to express through move and motions, the discourse and tune. The artiste, aside from being an artist and performer, needs to have a high capability in Sanskrit and Telugu dialects, Music and the writings for the execution. The Kuchipudi execution starts with presentation of concentrates from the four Vedas as these symbolize the structure of the Natyaveda.This taken after by Ganapati stuti before the section of the sutradhar who portrays the move show with its suggestions and presents the artistes. Every artist is presented with pravesa daruva orentrance number joined by tune and musical syllables. The word daruvu implies cadenced example. There is nritta, nritya, and natya. The nritta part is made out of teeermanams and jatis; the naitya comprises of sabdams indroduced to advance the move and natya is acting with mudras to order the stories of yore. Kuchipudi traditional move contains a mix of tandava and lasya components. The music is this move from is established and the outfits are traditional. Bhagavatula Ramayya, composed by Hari Madhavayya, presented the move show in the Kuchipudi collection; and today vachikabhinaya (verbal expression) has turned into a unique component of Kuchipudi move dramatization. Kathakali Kathakali is an antiquated and customary move type of Kerala. The word Kathakali actually signifies "Story-Play". Kathakali utilizes expand make-ups, outfits and foundation.

A Kathakali execution is a noteworthy get-together. They by and large begin at nightfall and experience out the night. Kathakali is normally performed just by men.

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.

  • Rasaesthetics.Pdf
    Rasaesthetics Richard Schechner Where in the body is theatricality located? What is its place? Traditionally in Western theatre, the eyes and to some degree the ears are where theatricality is experienced. By etymology and by practice a theatre is a “place of/for seeing.” Seeing requires distance; engenders focus or differentiation; encourages analysis or breaking apart into logical strings; privileges meaning, theme, narration. Modern science depends on instruments of observation, of ocularity: tele- scopes and microscopes. Theories derived from observations made by means of ocular instruments define the time-space continuum. From super-galactic strings on the one hand to molecular and subatomic wave particles on the other, we “know” the universe by “seeing” it. See = know; know = see; speed = space; distance = time; diachronicity = story. But in other cultural traditions there are other locations for theatricality. One of these, the mouth, or better said, the snout-to-belly-to-bowel—the route through the body managed by the enteric nervous system—is the topic of this essay. The snout-to-belly-to-bowel is the “where” of taste, digestion, and excretion. The performance of the snout-to-belly-to-bowel is an ongoing interlinked muscular, cellular, and neurological process of testing-tasting, separating nourishment from waste, distributing nourishment throughout the body, and eliminating waste. The snout-to-belly-to-bowel is the where of in- timacy, sharing of bodily substances, mixing the inside and the outside, emo- tional experiences, and gut feelings. A good meal with good company is a pleasure; so is foreplay and lovemaking; so is a good shit.

  • The Seraikella Chhau Dance
    The Seraikella Chhau Dance Text and Photographs by Mohan Khokar If the one-time princely state of Seraikella is known to the outside world, it is mainly because of the Chhau dance. For centuries the people here-rulers and commonersalike-havecherished and preservedthisextraordinarily stylised and aesthetically rich form of art. Dance traditions bearing the same name, Chhau, also obtain in nearby Mayurbhanj. in Orissa, and Purulia, in West Bengal, and certain parallel characteristics suggest a common origin for the three. Broadly, however, the Chhau of Seraikella can be said to be poetic and evocative, that of Mayurbhanj earthy and vibrant, and of Purulia robust and virile. Hara-Parvatt. 25 Seraikella lies in the heart of the Singhbhum district, formerly of Orissa and now of Bihar. Girdled as it is by the rolling Saranda and Bangriposi hills, it has for centuries maintained its own peculiar religious and cultural traditions, immune to influence from without. And these traditions find their fullest flower­ ing once every year, at the time of Chaitra Parva, the Spring Festival . Preceded by elaborate ceremonies and rituals, the Chhau is performed for four or five nights and witnessed by thousands from the city and around. The technique of the Chhau dance stems from the parikhanda system of exercise, an important part of the training of the sipahis, or warriors, of Seraikella. Pari means shield and khanda sword, and in the parikhanda the performers all hold swords and shields in their hands when doing the exercises. The parikhanda is generally performed in the early hours of the morning and, traditionally, only at one place-a stretch of raised land on the bank of the Kharkai river, known as Bhairavsal.

  • The Chhaw Dance of Bengal! Dr
    International Journal on Textile Engineering and Processes Vol. 4, Issue 3 July 2018 The Chhaw Dance of Bengal! Dr. B. Basu1, Ms. Laboni Banerjee2 1-Adjunct faculty, SGGS College of Engineering and Technology, Nanded. 2-Appeared in final year in Bachelor of Design course in Viswa Bharati University, Shantiniketan. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Introduction India is the country of Art and Culture. In ancient days the dances used to be performed mainly of two types i.e. indoor and outdoor. The indoor dances used to be showed off by the sophisticated Artists in the King`s Palaces for the entertainment purpose! In those days of Mahabharata, the dancing art was found that Arjuna used to perform dance at the Royal Court of Birat Raja as “Brihannalla’. The outdoor dances used to be performed by the villagers during any festival, joy, ceremony, worshipping of Goddess and most of the dances were from noble mind and aspirations. It used to be the group dances participated by the one and all. Hence gradually the Folk dances and Tribal dances started arriving. Almost every state is having its own style of Folk Dances. This art form combines dance, music, drama, instrumental music, facial and body makeup, martial art and ritualistic functions, composed in a harmonizing manner.Tribal Dances in India are inspired by the tribal folklore. Each ethnic group has its own distinct combination of myths, legends, tales, proverbs, riddles, ballads, folk songs, folk dance, and folkmusic. India has a number of classical Indian dance forms, each of which can be traced to different parts of the country.

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.

It has a strong impact among the audience as the appeal of Bengali folk-drama is undeniable. ‘Bolan’ is a traditional folk drama of Bengal which is mainly celebrated in the month of ‘Chaitra’ (march-april). Geographically, it is prevalent in the mid- northern rural and semi-urban regions of Bengal (Rar Banga area) – mainly in Murshidabad district and some parts of Nadia, Birbhum and Bardwan districts. Although it follows the theatrical procedures, yet it is different from the same because it has no female artists. The male actors impersonate as females and play the part. Like other folk drama ‘Bolan’ is in direct contact with the audience and is often interacted and modified by them. Primarily it narrates mythological themes but now-a-days it narrates contemporary socio-politico-economical and natural issues. As it is performed different contemporary issues of immense interest audiences is deeply integrated with it and try to assimilate the messages of social importance from it. And in this way Mass (traditional) media plays an important role in shaping public opinion and forming a platform of exchange between the administration and the people they serve.
