REVISIONIST TORONTO BHARATANATYAM: HISTORY, PERFORMANCE & MEMORY
inDANCE presents Bharatanatyam: History, Performance & Memory, an interactive demonstration featuring live performance, video presentation and a talk that challenges binary notions of “tradition” and “contemporaneity”. Drawing from experiences of race, sexuality, multiculturalism, and post-colonialism, inDANCE gives voice to contemporary expressions of dance through re-interpretations of “traditional Indian dance” and the development of a distinctly Canadian/Toronto movement vocabulary.
