    PAPER 4 Detail Study Of Kathak, Nautch Girls, Nritta, Nritya, Different Gharana-s, Present Status, Institutions, Artists Module 12 Pioneers Of Kathak 1930-1950 Pioneers are those who show the path not attempted before. They lead us to light to the new ways of doing something. These are people with vision to fulfill a mission and they are given divine support by history and circumstances to do so. Thus, pioneers are people, ordinary in appearance but with special abilities and mind backed by hard work. Once a form that was long forgotten and got known and established as Kathak, many stars of other forms, most notably Bharatanatyam and Kathakali did much to learn and promote Kathak and help it reach national acclaim. In this, Bharatanatyam trained Ram Gopal, Kathakali trained Uday Shankar and pioneers in films like Menaka and Sadhona Bose took this form further and can be called pioneers, in addition to the generation that followed their example. It would not be wrong to call Uday Shankar a cult figure of the early part of the 20th century. He was a showman, a creator of magical spectacles and a dancer par excellence. He was not a trained dancer, so his movements flowed from the heart. He 1 created the Indian ballet scene because nothing like it existed before. Originally a painter, on his museum visits to delve into books, Uday got fascinated with pictures of sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses in varied poses. He began imitating the poses. Although unfamiliar with dance techniques, the images provided inspiration to translate into dance movement.

  • Tradition and the Individual Dancer
    1: Tradition and the Individual Dancer History and Innovation in a Classical Form Critical accounts and promotional materials frequently refer to bharata natyam as “ancient.” The dance form’s status as traditional and classical seems to render it fixed, even timeless. A connection to the past appears to be a given for this dance practice. Even on closer examination, a relationship to the past seems integral to the dance form’s identity, its content, and its structure. Present-day bharata natyam choreography draws from the dance practices of earlier decades and centuries. Its movement vocabulary derives from sadir, the solo dance per- formed by temple and court dancers in precolonial and colonial South India. The margam—the concert order that determines when in a program each dance piece appears—was standardized in the nineteenth century by the renowned musician- composers of the Thanjavur Quartet. The roots of bharata natyam extend still further back. For example, the mudras, or hand gestures, used today accord in both shape and meaning with those described in the Natyasastra, a Sanskrit dra- maturgical text, dating from the beginning of the Christian era. Similarly, an arangetram, or initial performance, described in the fifth-century Tamil epic Silappadikaram correlates with that of devadasi practitioners of the nineteenth century, which then established the protocol for twentieth-century debuts. Bharata natyam’s repertoire consists largely of songs written between the sev- enteenth and twentieth centuries. The poems of love and religious devotion that form the basis of the bharata natyam canon emerged from the musical and lit- erary traditions of previous centuries.

The Occasional Publication series is published for the India International Centre by Cmde. (Retd.) R. Datta. Designed and produced by FACET Design. Tel.: 91-11-24616720, 24624336. Pandit Ravi Shankar—Tansen of our Times Pandit Ravi Shankar died a few months ago, just short of his 93rd birthday on 7 April. So it is opportune that we remember a man whom I have rather unabashedly called the Tansen of our times. Pandit Ravi Shankar was easily the greatest musician of our times and his death marks not only the transience of time itself, but it also reminds us of the glory that was his life and the immortality of his legacy. In the passing of Robindro Shaunkar Chowdhury, as he was called by his parents, on 11 December in San Diego, California, we cherish the memory of an extraordinary genius whose life and talent spanned almost the whole of the 20th century. It crossed all continents, it connected several genres of human endeavour, it uplifted countless hearts, minds and souls. Very few Indians epitomized Indian culture in the global imagination as this charismatic Bengali Brahmin, Pandit Ravi Shankar. Born in 1920, Ravi Shankar not only straddled two centuries but also impacted many worlds—the East, the West, the North and the South, the old and the new, the traditional and the modern.

  • Chapter 1 Uday Shankar and Locating Modernity
    CHAPTER 1 UDAY SHANKAR AND LOCATING MODERNITY In 1920, a twenty year old, handsome Indian student arrived in London to study painting at the Royal College of Art. Three years later, he made his debut at Covent Garden alongside the legendary Russian ballet dancer, Anna Pavlova, although—quite remarkably—until a few months earlier, he had little to no dance experience. His audiences in England, France, and the United States nevertheless thought he was very talented at what he did. The dancer invented a new style of dance, which purportedly represented Indian culture; his dance looked “foreign” enough that nobody doubted his claim. In the late 1920s, the dancer returned to India, and demonstrated his new style to his fellow compatriots. Most of his compatriots did not care for this new style, but a few prominent figures encouraged him to continue with what he was doing. His family and friends also supported him; some of them even joined his dance troupe as dancers and musicians, including his youngest brother, twenty years his junior. The troupe then returned to Paris. Meanwhile, India was nearing the end of its dramatic transition from a British imperial colony to a newly independent nation. When the dancer returned to settle in India in the late 1930s, he immersed himself in the current debates over India’s future identity and culture. Most people, who believed the essence of Indian culture could be found in its ancient traditions, were looking to the past for the “real” definition of national culture and identity. The dancer, however, proposed that his invented style and eclectic approach to art defined India’s culture instead.

  • Chapter 1 Uday Shankar: an Overview of the Period
    CHAPTER 1 UDAY SHANKAR: AN OVERVIEW OF THE PERIOD BETWEEN 1900 – 1960 Given that the focus of the thesis is the period from 1960 to 1977, this overview of Uday Shankar’s life from 1900 – 1960 is primarily based on Mohan Khokar’s book, His Dance His Life – A Portrait of Uday Shankar1, the write up published in the name of Uday Shankar in the Souvenir of Shankarscope in 1970, titled My Love for Dance ,2 and a televised interview of Uday Shankar with Shambhu Mitra on DD Bharati3. The researcher is well aware of the limitations that this might present. The two most evident ones being – the biography of Uday Shankar by Mohan Khokar is in many instances incorrect, inaccurate and inadequate for the period 1960 – 1977, therefore the veracity of the biography of Shankar’s early life also remains suspect, all the more so as Khokar does not use any citations, nor does he state the sources of his information in many a case. Nonetheless, this appears to be the most comprehensive book written on Uday Shankar’s life and works till date, and therefore the researcher has used this as a base for the period between 1900 – 1960.
