Decoding the Modern Practice of Bharatanatyam
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 January 2013
Abstract
As the classical Indian dance form Bharatanatyam globalizes, it suffers under the gravitas of “unbroken tradition.” To numerically characterize tradition in contemporary India, surveys were administered to 212 practitioners on execution, values, knowledge, and pedagogy. Statistical analysis revealed extensive diversity, lack of a consistent core, and fundamental drivers of variation.
