Bharatanatyam
Ancient Indian dances originated either in worship or are ascribed to the gods themselves. Bharatanatyam was born in the temples. Today it is one of the most sought-after forms among students and aficionados of Indian classical dance. Over the last two centuries Bharatanatyam has evolved from a highly codified style to one with maximum freedom to innovate. The dance s journey from the temple to the proscenium is the subject of this book.
Creativity in Indian Dance
Heralded as the father of Indian Creative Dance, and India’s cultural ambassador, Uday Shankar (1900–1977) was a dancer and choreographer who created a vibrant new Indian dance form without any ethno-regional centricity. Over time, Shankar’s art evolved from being a representation of the exotic East, to a narrative of modern India. This book provides a detailed study of Shankar’s works in his autumn years (1960–1977), which remain largely un-documented. It discusses the form and content of Shankar’s style, and its basic tenets - something hitherto unexplored. It also analyses Rabindranath Tagore and Uday Shankar as path-breakers of the duality in Indian performing arts traditions...
