Book excerpt: Literary Nonfiction. Native American Studies. Performing Arts. With an introduction by Jace Weaver, this collection of essays analyzes Native theater, dance, and music performances through indigenous critical lenses. Contributors to this volume include both recent and established scholars who offer provocative studies of the ways in which Native performing artists "re-present" American Indian history, culture, art forms, spiritual traditions, and/or contemporary issues in their works. Jacqueline Shea Murphy writes, "The scope is exciting, both in what the essays focus on contemporary Native plays, an early 20th century Sun Dance opera, punk rock band musicians, turn-of-the-century jazz bands, contemporary modern dance and also in the issues the authors raise and consider.... The result is a vibrant, insightful, wide-ranging, and crucial contribution to the growing discussion about this important field."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance, music, theatre and puppetry were born in India millenniaago, while cinema is the most new-fengled art form hardly acentury old. But all five of them have been undergoing rapidtransformation over the last few decades and the process has onlybeen accelerated in the new millennium. The present volumeattempts to provide some exciting glimpses in the happeningscene in the current decade.Some aesthetes and experts, with substantial knowledge of theirdomains have offered and uncluttered insight into their ownareas. Thereafter, each performing art-scene is taken up andillustrations are offered so that the common art-lover and artenthusiastcan pick up enough acquaintance with the area of one sinterest and appreciate what is going around.Classical dances, for instance, are performed galore in theirnewfound strength and, side-by-side, new experiments are on: inkeeping with new tastes and heterogeneous audiences. Classicalmusic has found its firm foothold notwithstanding plenty ofinnovative attempts and fusion efforts. Theatre has found itsfirm foothold notwithstanding plenty of innovative attempts andfusion efforts. Theatre has come of age: with both dramatic textsas well as performance practices that happily commingle today.Cinema, the most nascent art, is perhaps the one most given toinnovations and experimentations. The age-old art of puppetry,on the contrary, is perhaps discovering its new potential: both intradition and contemporaneity.On the whole, the millennium mind is throbbing and excitedat the prospects of the performing arts providing not merelyentertainment, but much food for thought. This book looks at notmerely at the scene, but also behind the scene: in delving into thepractitioner s and director s psyche: to understand and appreciatehow the creative acumen is working, which is so important forappreciating their endeavours in the coming decades.
Download or read book Indian Theatre written by Farley P. Richmond and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indian Theatre expands the boundaries of what is usually regarded as theatre in order to explore the multiple dimensions of theatrical performance in India. From rural festivals to contemporary urban theatre, from dramatic rituals and devotional performances to dance-dramas and classical Sanskrit plays, this volume is a vivid introduction to the colourful and often surprising world of Indian performance. Besides mapping the vast range of performance traditions, the volume provides in-depth treatment of representative genres, including well-known forms such as Kathakali and ram lila and little-knowa performances such as tamasha. Each of these chapters explains the historical background of the theatre form under consideration and interprets its dramatic literature, probes its ritual or religious significance, and, where relevant, explores its social and political implications. Moreover, each chapter, except for those on the origins of Indian theatre, concludes with performance notes describing the actual experience of seeing a live performance in its original context. Based on extensive fieldwork, Indian Theatre is the first comprehensive account of the subject to be written by Western specialists and addressed to the needs of readers in the West. It will be a valuable resource for all students of Indian culture and a standard work in the history of theatre and performance for years to come.

Download or read book Back to the Roots written by Jiwan Pani and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jiwan Pani was born on 13 February 1933 in a Brahmin family from Baripada in the Mayurbhanj district of Orissa. From his early years he showed a keen interest in music, dance and theatre. His first poem was published when he was only fourteen years old. Later his lyrics began to be widely sung by the common man and were freely adopted by film makers. His film on the Ravanachhaya, the shadow puppet theatre of Orissa, and his video-films on the Mayurbhanj Chhau have all been widely acclaimed and are expressions of his master craftsmanship. There was no aspect of Indian art and aesthetics that he was not familiar with. Back to the Roots is a collection of Jiwan Pani's articles which have been put together themewise. This book reflects his wide-ranging interests: the cult of Jagannatha, an individualistic and an in-depth study of the Geetagovinda, the Oriya systems of music as the third school along with Carnatic and Hindustani, his numerous scripts for dance-dramas, tele-serials and films, his deep study and understanding of Hindu and Buddhist systems of philosophy. These articles only go to prove that Jiwan Pani was a leading scholar of traditional Indian performing arts and Indian aesthetics. This handsome volume with numerous photographs is a celebration of the true vidwan that Jiwan Pani was.
