  • 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.

  • 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.

    Dancing into the Chthulucene: Sensuous Ecological Activism in the 21st Century Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kelly Perl Klein Graduate Program in Dance Studies The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Dr. Harmony Bench, Advisor Dr. Ann Cooper Albright Dr. Hannah Kosstrin Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas Copyrighted by Kelly Perl Klein 2019 2 Abstract This dissertation centers sensuous movement-based performance and practice as particularly powerful modes of activism toward sustainability and multi-species justice in the early decades of the 21st century. Proposing a model of “sensuous ecological activism,” the author elucidates the sensual components of feminist philosopher and biologist Donna Haraway’s (2016) concept of the Chthulucene, articulating how sensuous movement performance and practice interpellate Chthonic subjectivities. The dissertation explores the possibilities and limits of performances of vulnerability, experiences of interconnection, practices of sensitization, and embodied practices of radical inclusion as forms of activism in the context of contemporary neoliberal capitalism and competitive individualism. Two theatrical dance works and two communities of practice from India and the US are considered in relationship to neoliberal shifts in global economic policy that began in the late 1970s.
