This anthology celebrates and documents dance in its various forms in contemporary India. Dance occupies the most prestigious place of all performing arts in India yet curiously, to a large extent, it has remained outside the arena of academic discourse. The articles here, incorporating a multidisciplinary approach, are rooted in research on relevant issues in the area of Dance Studies. The volume includes contributions from eminent scholars, writers and commentators as well as short essays and interviews with Indian artists who share their stories. These add personal perspectives and insights into the broad themes discussed in the articles.
