Description
In this insightful volume, Mandakranta Bose delves into the antiquity of dance in India, addressing fundamental questions about the nature and characteristics of dancing. Through an exhaustive comparative study of the available Sanskrit treatises on dancing, which span over two thousand years, the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of dance forms in India.
The author traces the development of dance techniques and forms, highlighting how the central tradition of Indian dance expanded and incorporated regional and foreign styles. This fusion has contributed to the synthesis that forms the basis of present-day classical Indian dances.
Bose's approach to Indian dance and drama is both historical and theoretical, encompassing not only the evolution of the art but also its practical performance. Her extensive research builds on earlier work in the field, particularly the contributions of Dr. V. Raghavan, and the book serves as a valuable resource for scholars and researchers in the field of dance, music, and theatre studies.
The work provides a rich historical and theoretical perspective on Indian dance, making it a crucial read for anyone studying or researching the subject.
