  • STAGE PRESENCE Costume and Make-Up in Indian Classical Dance
    May 2021 ® ON Stagevolume 10 • issue 10 STAGE PRESENCE Costume and make-up in Indian classical dance A RICHER SOUND A FINE STATE New members join the SOI Glimpses of Maharashtra Chairman’s Note here is a general impression that with the lockdown, the NCPA is not functioning as before. While it is true that there is nothing Twhich can substitute a face-to-face encounter and/or meeting to achieve the desired result, the next best course is to gird up our loins and innovate ways in which the NCPA would most benefit and the employees, musicians, technicians, etc. would occupy themselves meaningfully. Having laid out these objectives before our heads of divisions, I must say that a modicum of success has been achieved. The musicians in residence of the SOI have been furiously preparing new programmes and have already, in the last month, recorded four of them fully for the digital platform. These have been recorded in the theatre and with better sound than when the audience is present. Similarly, full- year plans, conditions permitting, have been presented by the Indian Music, International Music, Dance and Theatre genres. Preparations are, therefore, underway to put together a year’s programme of likely performances when the lockdown and other bans are lifted and otherwise, recording online for the presence of the NCPA to be noted by its members and the public alike. Methods of management are being put together and we realise that getting the finest advisors in areas where we need these inputs is the cheapest way of keeping up with technology and modern practices.

  • Los Angeles a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfaction of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomu
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles FIND THE TRUE COUNTRY: DEVOTIONAL MUSIC AND THE SELF IN INDIA’S NATIONAL CULTURE A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by VIVEK VIRANI 2016 © Copyright by Vivek Virani 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Find the True Country: Devotional Music and the Self in India’s National Culture by Vivek Virani Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Daniel M. Neuman, Chair For centuries, the songs of devotional poet-saints have been an integral part of Indian religious life. Countless regional traditions of bhajans (devotional songs) have been able to maintain their existence by adapting to serve the contemporary social needs of their participants. This dissertation draws on fieldwork conducted over 2014-2015 with contemporary bhajan performers from many different genres and styles throughout India. It highlights a specific tradition in the Central Indian region of Malwa based on poetry by Kabir and other Sants (anti- establishment poet-saints) performed by lower-caste singers. This tradition was largely unheard- of half a century ago, but is now a major part of Malwa’s cultural life that has facilitated the creation of lower-caste spiritual networks and created a space for those networks to engage in discourse about social issues.
