Abstract:

This essay explores innovations in contemporary Indian dance based in classical Indian dance, martial arts and Western dance vocabularies. Who is making change and how does change work? I delineate the parameters of contemporary Indian dance as a genre (since the 1980s) and distinguish it from Bollywood style “free” dance. I analyze the creative choreography of one prominent contemporary Indian dancer, Chennai (India) based Anita Ratnam. Ratnam's signature style, evoking the “feminine transcendental,” is rooted in Indian aesthetic along with a pan-Asian scope. Ratnam's over twenty-year dance c

Abstract:

This paper explores the evolution of Indian classical dance in the context of globalization, examining how these ancient art forms have adapted to contemporary global influences. The study begins by tracing the roots and revival efforts of major styles such as Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Odissi, highlighting their historical significance and regional variations. It then discusses the impact of globalization on these dances, focusing on their introduction to the global stage, adaptations, and fusions with other dance forms, and the role of the Indian diaspora in popularizing these dances abroad.

Abstract:

This essay follows a somewhat unconventional approach to writing about Indian dance in the diaspora. I say “unconventional” because it unfolds as a kind of self-reflexive narration of my own journey as a “doubly diasporic” Indian dancer, born in Singapore but having made my career in North America. In essence, I map my own unconventional paths to understanding Indian dance in the diaspora, outside the tired and troublesome idea of “dance as heritage”. The aim of this critical meditation on my own work is to offer up new possibilities for moving Indian dance into progressive conceptual spaces t

Flamenco dance is a special art form that combines song, dance, and guitar performance. Flamenco dance is the music and dance of the Andalusian Gypsies (also known as Flamenco people) in Spain. Originating from the folk songs and dances of Gypsy, Antalusia, Arabia, and Spanish Jews, in the 14th and 15th centuries, Gypsy wanderers brought the Eastern Indian tap dance style and Arab mystical and sentimental charm to Spain in their bold and unrestrained songs and dances.

In yoga, physical postures and alignments foster awareness and meditation. In dance, these elements are crafted to evoke aesthetic pleasure and emotional resonance in the audience. Rooted in Hindu mythology, both dance and yoga in India share a divine origin. The Natya Shastra and Abhinaya Darpana narrate how dance was divinely conceived by Lord Brahma, integrating elements from the four Vedas, thus elevating it to the status of the fifth Veda.

Using theories of creolization, archival and field research in Goa, and an understanding of quadrille dancing as a social and memorial act, this

Abstract:

Extracting and recognizing complex human movements from unconstrained online/offline video sequence is a challenging task in computer vision. This paper proposes the classification of Indian classical dance actions using a powerful artificial intelligence tool: convolutional neural networks (CNN). In this work, human action recognition on Indian classical dance videos is performed on recordings from both offline (controlled recording) and online (live performances, YouTube) data. The offline data is created with ten different subjects performing 200 familiar dance mudras/poses from different I

Abstract:

Guru is held in great respect and significance in Indian culture since he is the source of all wisdom and learning. India has a rich heritage of several art forms that are closely related to many aspects of life and are still practiced today and passed down from one generation to the next through the "Guru Shishya Parampara". The present study focuses on Indian classical dancers where each shishya has his own unique journey of learning wherein he evolves as a dancer and a human being. During this learning process, the role of guru plays a significant role in the life of the shishya and his ove

Abstract:

The arts of dance and music are of great importance to the culture of India. Classical Indian dances and music are among the most graceful and beautiful in the world. The Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad as a head of state led to making Baroda a city representative of art, which is at once indigenous and modern. Expert artists from across the Indian Subcontinent were invited to perform as well as to extend the knowledge of music to the people of Vadodara. Artists were often encouraged with awards and rewards for their performances on various occasions. Maharaja Sayajirao wanted to disseminate the tr

Abstract:

In this article Catherine Diamond examines the flows of transcultural hybridity occurring in dance between Spanish flamencos, Japanese exponents of flamenco, and Indian dancers interacting with flamenco within their classical dance forms. Japan and India represent two distinct Asian reactions to the phenomenon of global flamenco: the Japanese have adopted it wholesale and compete with the Spanish on their own ground; the Indians claim that as the Roma (gypsy) people originated in India, the country is also the home of flamenco. Despite their differing attitudes, flamenco dance offers women in

Abstract:

AbstractThis article is based on interviews made with gurus and dancers in Orissa, East India. The Odissi, a classical dance which stands at the centre of attention here, is a mixture of centuries-old traditions and relatively new influences, or even inventions. By discussing the dance′s history, its aesthetic qualities and, most importantly, the emic points of view of contemporary practitioners of the dance, it is shown that today′s Odissi is based on ideas and practices that stem as much from old Sanskrit writings and late-medieval temple practices as they do from the contemporary realms

Abstract:

Traversing through disparate cultural and geographic frontiers, my paper maps the journey of a Bengali dancer, Manjusri Chaki-Sircar, who travels from India to America via Africa before putting her “roots” finally down in India, exploring the migration of body movements across the world. Spelling a new body politics, her dance inscribes the signature of her-self in moving space(s); weaving varied patterns of life experiences; telling tales of displacements, exodus, and resettlements; and fashioning a glocal perspective of movement in a “global political moment.”Situating Manjusri within a coun
