  • Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian
    Fusion Without Confusion Raga Basics Indian Rhythm Basics Solkattu, also known as konnakol is the art of performing percussion syllables vocally. It comes from the Carnatic music tradition of South India and is mostly used in conjunction with instrumental music and dance instruction, although it has been widely adopted throughout the world as a modern composition and performance tool. Similarly, the music of North India has its own system of rhythm vocalization that is based on Bols, which are the vocalization of specific sounds that correspond to specific sounds that are made on the drums of North India, most notably the Tabla drums. Like in the south, the bols are used in musical training, as well as composition and performance. In addition, solkattu sounds are often referred to as bols, and the practice of reciting bols in the north is sometimes referred to as solkattu, so the distinction between the two practices is blurred a bit. The exercises and compositions we will discuss contain bols that are found in both North and South India, however they come from the tradition of the North Indian tabla drums. Furthermore, the theoretical aspect of the compositions is distinctly from the Hindustani, (north Indian) tradition. Hence, for the purpose of this presentation, the use of the term Solkattu refers to the broader, more general practice of Indian rhythmic language. South Indian Percussion Mridangam Dolak Kanjira Gattam North Indian Percussion Tabla Baya (a.k.a. Tabla) Pakhawaj Indian Rhythm Terms Tal (also tala, taal, or taala) – The Indian system of rhythm.

  • Some Thoughts on Odissi Dance*
    Some Thoughts on Odis si Dance* DlNANA TH PATRY J. TH EO BSESS ION WIT H CLASS iCiSM n the Indian context there is nothing called classicism. The Sanskr it word shastriya, I which is generally believed to be a translation of'classic' or 'the classical', represents a misunderstanding ofboth the words. 'classicism' and shastriya. A shastra is a written text, a codified version of the practices of a given period which tri es to claim an authority in a subsequent period oflime. Dependence on the practice (prayoga) and later on the textual prescription becomes a tradi tion (jJarampara) with the peopl e who follo w it. While the shastra or the text remains constant, the practices that form the tradition become variables. Therefore, a need arises to write different texts in different periods oftime. To comprehend and contexrualize the variables in textual codifications, scholars resort to new interpreta· tions (commentaries) and such attempts finally emb ody regional aspirations. While there is a basic text like Narya Shastra, there are oth er texts like Nartananimaya I. Nartananim aya is a remarkable work in that it marks a transiti on al point in the evolution of dance in India. In contrast with its prec ursors in the field. which follow in the main the descriptions of danc es given by Bharata in Natya Shastra, the Nartananimaya describes entirely new forms. These new forms were shaped by regional styles that were not included. though their existence was acknowledged by Bharata, wh ich was term ed by his successors marga, that is, the main path .

O’Shea, Chair This dissertation presents a critical examination of dance and multiple movements across the Coromandel in a pivotal period: the long eighteenth century. On the eve of British colonialism, this period was one of profound political and economic shifts; new princely states and ruling elite defined themselves in the wake of Mughal expansion and decline, weakening Nayak states in the south, the emergence of several European trading companies as political stakeholders and a series of fiscal crises. In the midst of this rapidly changing landscape, new performance paradigms emerged defined by hybrid repertoires, focus on structure and contingent relationships to space and place – giving rise to what we understand today as classical south Indian dance. Far from stable or isolated tradition fixed in space and place, I argue that dance as choreographic ii practice, theorization and representation were central to the negotiation of changing geopolitics, urban milieus and individual mobility.
