I entered the project with a kathak trained body. Indeed, this training – now second nature more than anything else – is the core of the piece. Not just in terms of technique, but also in terms of aesthetics, approaches, taboos, and exclusions – what does not get trained, knowingly or unknowingly. The vertical stance of kathak is unique in Indian classical dances. But the very first question I encountered was – what does it mean to be vertical? What is the body aware of? And what is it not aware of? Our daily sessions of intense physical training introduced me to ideas of alignment, minute body awareness, core muscle control, and a lengthening of the spine (and therefore the body) which I had not encountered before. Bringing these into a bodily muscle memory through constant correction and repetition took me back to what it must have been like when I first started learning kathak. At that point, one becomes gradually aware of everything since it is not ‘natural’ to the body. Second nature takes a while to emerge and take over. And there lies both the achievement and danger: it becomes easier, it becomes natural, but it also becomes more and more difficult to pinpoint, articulate and remember all the tiny details every time one performs it. excerpt from my interim report on the process of making ‘Across, not Over’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/c3491fb5-753c-40a2-ac00-d4aacb5a34ae/How+long+does+time+last+1+-+Floating.png Last-ing -

Ranjana Dave | November 2018 What is the succulent, reactive potential of the body, vulnerable to ‘pressure’ but also capable of exerting it? How is it indented by, and in turn, able to indent, in the space and time of the now? Are its extremities entirely, physical and cellular, as a body that mediates its senses through technology, ‘watching’ on screens and ‘loving’ in hypertext? Can we leave this heterotopic notion of the body outside the studio space, severing the body from all its digital, social, historical, mechanical and philosophical extremities? Or is it time to disrupt our notion of the body, and ask of ourselves – where does the body begin and end, after all? + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841987418-H65K8S2HFOXOTZH6XML3/CTING+ON+RESISTANCE%3A+DEFINITIONS+AND+DISSONANCES 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - REFLECTING ON RESISTANCE: DEFINITIONS AND DISSONANCES Shanti Pillai | November 2018 To make and interpret performance in relation to “resistance” can be an empowering methodology for both practitioner and scholar. Yet what does resistance mean? The aspirations the concept invites are not always met with rigour of attempt to define it. This essay takes a brief look at influential models for conceptualising power and opposition that developed in the social sciences and cultural studies in the US and Europe during the 80s and 90s as a means to illuminate the assumptions frequently operating behind current references to resistance in the arts and arts scholarship. The discussion asserts the need for a more complex orientation to resistance as an artistic objective and analytical rubric, and advocates greater reflexivity in seeking to align a work of contemporary performance with a dangerous and utopic act. + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542609316295-A84JNZ3BBZ49QQK1L3E9/THINKING+ABOUT+ARTISTIC+MICRO-ACTIVISMS+IN+BRAZIL%3A+TWO+EXAMPLES 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - THINKING ABOUT ARTISTIC MICRO-ACTIVISMS IN BRAZIL: TWO EXAMPLES Christine Greiner | November 2018 Before being considered a language in its own right or becoming a field of studies, performance was an operator of destabilisation, the most significant political action of which would be to implode paradigms, models, habits and patterns. In an age of ‘artistic capitalism’, the author looks at the homegrown contexts of Brazil, where performance is used as a mode of rethinking communities. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841762906-S0TKF536TLD5GBDBADJB/O+IS+PERFORMING+WHOM+AND+UNDER+WHAT+CONDITIONS+ALONG+THE+NORTH-SOUTH+AXIS%3F 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - WHO IS PERFORMING WHOM AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS ALONG THE NORTH-SOUTH AXIS? Rahel Leupin | November 2018 Despite discourses of transnationalism, hybridity, globalisation, culturescapes and cosmopolitanism, the majority of art councils and arts institutions still function on the basis of national borders and passports. Financial engagement in the contemporary arts across the globe is dominated by the West and most often comes with implicit or even explicit connections and agenda-settings. Together with the artists Venuri Perera, Mallika Taneja, and Daniel Kok, the author seeks to vigilantly look at the contradictions of performance-making and curating along the North-South axis today and work through the questions: Who is actually performing with whom and under what conditions? And why now? + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841812881-1VEOJ5ZY6X8MC54SHE4B/RUMINATIONS+ON+ASIANNESS+AND+DANCE 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - RUMINATIONS ON ASIANNESS AND DANCE Nirmala Seshadri | November 2018 Asianness is the tag that is needed to justify the presence of the dancing body that is not trained in the western dance idiom. In Singapore, the classical Indian dancer (whether aware of it or not) exists at the intersection of multiple agendas – cultural essentialism, collective nostalgia for an imagined homeland, exoticism, multiculturalism, overt emphasis on religiosity, as well as an Indian nationalism that is increasingly mobile. In her essay, the author responds to a series of questions about ‘Asianness’, reflecting on choreographic strategies to circumnavigate the landscapes of aesthetics, politics and/or the arts market, which remains significantly dominated by the West? + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841927129-S81YS02AFS1QBP796BCS/ING+RASA%2C+DEFYING+MELODY%3A+BODY+AND+SOUND+IN+PADMINI+CHETTUR%27S+BEAUTIFUL+THING+1 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - DEFYING RASA, DEFYING MELODY: BODY AND SOUND IN PADMINI CHETTUR'S BEAUTIFUL THING 1 Meghna Bhardwaj | November 2018 Proposing a methodology of studying contemporary dance practice, through its relationship to the embodiment of critique and sound-making, vis-à-vis its distancing from the employment of ‘harmonious’ and ‘melodic’ sounds in the process of choreography, the author chooses Padmini Chettur’s choreographic work Beautiful Thing 1 as her case study. Beautiful Thing 1 directly challenges the traditional idea of ‘music-accompanying-dance’ while aligning the extremely taut and edgy movements of a group of female dancers to sounds that may be called metronomic, acoustic, even silent or absent. How could the soundscape that the piece spans, as it lets the movements of female bodies emerge in a much-exposed and matter-of-fact manner, effectively replace the idea of rasa with friction as a proposed affect for the onlooker? + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542614601644-0KIS6J74KNIXQD0P9Y1L/ING+DRAUPADI+IN+THE+POETICS+AND+POLITICS+OF+PERFORMANCE+IN+CONTEMPORARY+INDIA 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - LOCATING DRAUPADI IN THE POETICS AND POLITICS OF PERFORMANCE IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA Urmimala Sarkar Munsi | November 2018 This paper tries to bring together different ways in which the woman named Draupadi becomes represented in performances around her in India - travelling across time and geopolitical spaces, through the performances of the scene of game of dice, with representational or derivative interpretations of Draupadi of Mahabharata. In its non-linear narrative, it attempts to see Draupadi’s travel through time and space of performative representations as choices of reflections put forward by performers, thus giving her a specific role as the representative of women as vulnerable subjects in Indian society. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542615416498-LZE1MOAEBD5479FCCD7F/In+Solidarity%2C+Together+or+Alone 2018 | Strategies of Resistance - In Solidarity, Together or Alone Poorna Swami | November 2018 The image of the physical body—arms and legs and ribs and guts—holds visible presence in the way we recall India’s history of protest.

Anishaa Tavag | November 2019 I have recently taken to pondering a rather banal matter: why dance? To put it simply, we read books, watch movies, and listen to music; we also see plays and dances. But of course we are postmodern and pastiche, and so we also read bodies and dance histories. And here lies the question underneath: what do we really do when we ‘see’ dance?

In 2017, I wrote a play titled Contempt that edited exchanges from the transcripts of the Court hearings in 2012, and juxtaposed those alongside a series of accounts from the lives of queer Indians. In staging the play, I walked into the theatrical space holding on to my identity as an activist-lawyer and the play became a conduit for me to conduct my practice of the law. But in another staging, designed by theatre practitioners, what would happen to the legal questions the play sets up, when it is framed within an aesthetic experience? + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1573665449530-A4DZAAYCJIWGTTKZH5BJ/Cover+image+4 2019 | Present Continuous - DANCING WITH PHOTOGRAPHS Sharan Devkar Shankar | November 2019 This series looks at how the artist has been able to observe the moving body, in its everyday performativity and in choreographed works.

These situations all deal with intimacy. Rooted in the two Latin prefixes inter (in-between) and intus (inside), intimacy etymologically refers to the most private part of oneself, as well as the interrelation with others. It is furthermore in the encounter with others that intimacy emerges and grows. In this paper, I discuss what I consider the main ingredient for intimacy to grow— exposure— and the vulnerable situation of exposing oneself. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1573665654510-F9LZ357US0L8OBUG9HA7/Cover+image+6 2019 | Present Continuous - THE END OF SWAN LAKE Urvi Vora | November 2019 Some disappearances are both remarkable and unremarkable: resistant to being captured, but unable to stop moving.

And in that we are constantly disappearing.+ Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1573665751014-921AKPY7ANZ3KRI06RL2/Cover+image+7 2019 | Present Continuous - TALKING TO MYSELF: A NON-LINEAR, WANDERING (FOLK?) DANCE FOR THE PAGE Bernice Lee | November 2019 In my postcolonial Singapore, there is no folk dance, only dances that people do. My dancing has always been taught and learnt in order to be performed, to be seen, and often to be represented. In my eagerness to move, I feel that I am allowed to ‘invent’ my own folk dance or my own way of dancing (ghosting, or solo dancing in general). Seeking the collective from this place feels like such a gift. Our shared histories might only be in the general, but our feeling for what has been lost might intersect. Our dance together might reference authentic/ancient traditions through our bodies — but I have no obligation to represent authenticity if what I seek is merely the action of exchange. Can a folk dance be ephemeral? Can it exist only for the crowd that gathers? Will it be historicised by others for others? + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1573666030523-LQGBB2DCBPH1WPR2INR5/Cover+image+8 2019 | Present Continuous - CARIES OF CAPITALISM: ARTISTIC STATEMENTS FOR INDENT Ada Mukhina, Alena Papina, Daria Iuriichuk and Olga Tarakanova | November 2019 Caries of Capitalism was born as a joke about the similar pronunciation of the words ‘caries’ and ‘precarious’. We all come from different backgrounds, but each of us deals with precarity one way or the other. However, with Caries of Capitalism, we aimed not only to share our personal experience and concerns, but to raise the general awareness of precarity and to mobilize the community. So we invited four more precarious theatre workers to join our team. Working on Caries of Capitalism collaboratively was for us an attempt to join our forces in a common fight. At the same time, we often felt like we actually contradicted one another irresolvably. We hope that this interplay of solidarity and tension shines through our texts and that they themselves can be read as an example of how to act together. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1573666150838-4RBC26ZLVDWVJKFYND77/Cover+image+9 2019 | Present Continuous - UNSETTLING THE DUST: WHY ARTS LEADERS MUST ALSO DISRUPT DOMINANT NARRATIVES Arundhati Ghosh | November 2019 Artistic disruptions break hegemonies and question homogeneities. They make the public uncomfortable about their ignorance or naiveté, and compel institutions to rethink their modes of engagement and their role in society. While disruptive artistic practices may thrive in the most oppressive social and political scenarios, they are enabled to flourish and assert their full impact with help from support systems and structures. This is where leaders of arts organisations who support, produce, promote, disseminate and advocate artistic work are key to ensuring that artistic work gets their due. But in order to do so, these leaders must believe in the power of disruption, and be disrupters themselves. As leaders, they must challenge dominant narratives by raising critical questions, enquiring about the politics of funding, critiquing the dynamics of power, and above all, taking risks similar to those that artists take, in order to serve as rightful ambassadors for a work of art. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1573666461967-P7US24WVUL3OA6GN0588/Cover+image+10 2019 | Present Continuous - What Do Men Think of Your Body? O n the Challenges of being an Olympic Weightlifter Katie Rose Hejtmanek | November 2019 “What do men think of your body?”— a stranger asks. I move through the world as a weightlifter, someone who jerks more than 80kg over her head in competition. I also move through the world as a muscled woman. In 2016, I began my journey into strength sports as a cultural anthropologist and a performer. Over the course of three years, my body has changed and I have embodied the movement of someone who can lift more than her body weight over her head. This personal transformation and embodied strength elicits comments, questions, and curiosity. Here, I illustrate my movement in the world, as weightlifter and woman, and I engage with the opening question, “what do men think of your body?” I discuss what’s at stake: the embodiment of strength against, and resistance to, misogyny and patriarchy. + Read More https://www.indent.in/indentlab2022 daily 0.75 2022-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1ac105d8-ad07-4729-a02b-e010f42486f7/%E2%80%A2Artwork_BnP_Logo.png Apply | Indent Lab 2022 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.indent.in/2022-lasting daily 0.75 2022-12-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542065409870-UH7IO4ZEA7JZKOSCQBA9/%E2%80%A2Artwork_BnP_Logo.png Last-ing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/fbdfc9da-7687-4a2b-aad0-5dd8627f2139/IMG_3516+%282%29.gif Last-ing - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/29b8f99c-b75c-4eba-8b0b-e8795027cf1d/week+1.png Last-ing - LAST(ING) : WEEK 1 Ranjana Dave | November 27, 2022 An edition accrues over time. The etymological underpinnings of the term ‘edition’ gesture at acts of ‘giving’, ‘producing’, or ‘bringing forth’, doing so ‘out of’ or ‘from within’ bodies and repositories of people, ideas and images. ‘Last(ing)’ has been several years in the making, starting from murmurs in 2020, to a proposal in 2021, and finally, an edition with 12 works spanning writing, video, and photographs in 2022. What it has meant to us has changed constantly; imagined in a shaky post-pandemic moment, it now manifests as the intention to endure, to remain, to leave traces. To last, leakily. + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/28d265d5-dd9d-4f55-9c5d-a9e2263f0e5a/Illustration+Nisha-Manjari.png Last-ing - OF SKY AND FIREFLIES Manjari Kaul and Nisha Abdulla | November 27, 2022 Resistance is often understood as something that resides in protest sites only, or in particular events that overthrow or subvert the status quo in society. In annotating fragments from two solo performance projects, Manjari Kaul and Nisha Abdulla invite the audience to witness and experience resistance in the everyday - through memory keeping, intentional relationships and collective dreaming. Tracing symbiotic connections between their projects, Firefly Women (Manjari Kaul) and wepushthesky (Nisha Abdulla), they set up a jugalbandi, gesturing at the interconnectedness between their two works. Both performances retrace moments of solidarity from the multiple Shaheen Baghs across the country and recognise their continued reverberation through our bodies in urgent yet nourishing ways. + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/8194acb2-5df8-421c-b324-ee650956026a/Illustration+Andrea.png Last-ing - Beyond and Between - Space Studies for a Diasporic Dance Andrea Itacarambi Albergaria | November 29, 2022 ‘Beyond and Between - Space Studies for a Diasporic Dance’ is a project of photography, diasporic dance and empty space, designed for exploring poetic narratives. From her poem Inspired by August Strindberg’s ‘The Dream Play’, the writer arrives at some future plans. Are they to remain hallucinated poetry? What does it mean to dance alone? When does a dance sit on the edge of ‘poetic diaspora’? We are offered this term and a danced exposition of it, by Brazil-based Odissi dancer and researcher Andrea Itacarambi Albergaria. In this essay, she builds a space for investigating movement, concepts of being in the world and also how to go beyond and between.

What sets Diba raas apart from the previous ones is its introduction in the backdrop of the rising anti-colonial and anti-feudal movements in Manipur. It signifies the democratisation of a performance, which was otherwise bound by strict rules of religious and monarchical orthodoxy. What was once a royal spectacle, becomes a performance accessible to the larger public. Today, the story of Diba Raas displays shifts in the sites of cultural memory, from the dancers’ bodies to prescribed dance curriculum, from published texts codifying rules to their practice amid the rhythms of life in the twenty-first century. Chabungam Babina’s essay tells the story of this last Raas, drawn from her own participation in a Diba Raas, and from conversations and anecdotes among the dancers during rehearsals.

It evokes many nooks and spaces, in the body and in places that can be marked clearly on a map. My own participation was primarily from Berlin, my new home for about a year now. While reading and working on these essays, I sometimes caught a certain smell on myself - one I latently associated with the ‘foreign‘. I observed this feeling with curiosity. What is my association with the idea of foreign-ness? When did my smell start changing? Does this alter my connection with a sense of home? How long does a fragrance on the skin last? Like my preoccupation with the smell of ‘foreign’, this week’s essays in 'Last(ing)’ offer an intimate inspection of the body to locate that which is ephemeral and invisible.

How many syllables does grief have? She notes a difference between grieving in her mother tongue Kannada and in English. She finds answers for questions put forth elsewhere: if faith and grief are the same? Through literary texts, she studies the grief of others and ponders over the colour of this emotion. She traces its movement in the body and its many transformations. After all, she says, grief does not come alone. It always has company. Be it regret, sadness, relief or something else. But, they can get complicated when the body they house is malfunctioning. The writer grieves not only for the people lost, but also for the imaginary body. A simple, undemanding body. She grieves the body that lasts.

For Dayita Nereyeth, moulding the body into meaningless ‘shapes’ left her stuck in an endless cycle of pain and disconnection. In this essay, she marks the path to her ‘last stretch’ and arrival into a personal embodied practice informed by principles of Alexander Technique. Stretching is doing, she observes. Her autobiographical account is rooted in personal experience and supplemented by embodied research. She writes, “I hope that the ideas resonate with movers all around the world, so we can begin to collectively shed constricting ideals and practices to allow our free, natural selves to live and dance uninhibited.” Through images and a recorded talk-through accompanying the essay, readers are invited to experience an activity from the Alexander Technique.

Johanna Heusser | December 8, 2022 In her ongoing research and performance, How to do a Downward Facing Dog?, Johanna Heusser attempts to open up different perspectives that make yoga visible as part of postcolonial and neoliberal entanglements. Based on her own biographical experience and intensive research, she reflects upon and critically questions her role as a white cisgender woman from Switzerland in this system. She takes an artistic approach to complex socio-political issues and a constructive search for utopian models. She asks: What strategies are there for decolonizing our yoga practice? Is there a feminist yoga? Or can yoga be a left protest? How can I be political with the help of my body? In this essay, she reflects further on her motivations to create a performance about yoga as a global practice and where the creation of a performance on this theme has taken her. She dialogues with performer and yoga practitioner Manjari Kaul on the subject and considers what it means to counter yoga’s glamourised social media presence by performing downward-facing dogs in mundane or everyday spaces.

Specifically, the gap between an exhalation and preparing to inhale again, before the body starts reorganising itself to make space for a new breath. Those few seconds have a void-like quality to them; full of emptiness, and thus, strangely, of possibility. Nothing is happening, because the body has ended a cycle of breath. Yet, something can happen, and I sense every pore and cell in the body relinquishing its hold on breath, steady in the belief that new breaths will return. Let’s try this together. Breathe in for four counts, breathe out for four, and then listen to the void for four counts. How does your body occupy the void? How does your body prepare for breath?

Through a series of exchanges in the form of letters, two entangled figures across either side of a wormhole have their ‘last conversation’. Zoe, developed by Anish Cherian, is a speculative figuration of the human as a leaky body corrupting itself against the principles of exclusions that have come to define humans into newer forms. Vidur Sethi’s Whippersnapper is a resistant provocateur who enters in a mothership desiring to queer surrounding architectures. Through words and fragmenting images in this post-human exploration, the figures spill over and constantly evade any finality in their own forms, metamorphosing what a human may entail.

How can one sustain a revolution? Tanima’s essay reflects on lasting and enduring in the context of her work with the Zanana Ensemble which came into being during the 2019-20 anti-NRC/CAA movement in Delhi. As the ensemble took the form of a choir, though its members did not all have prior training in music or performance, they nevertheless held a melody, a poem, a hope. They lasted for as long as the movement did, which had its own dynamics of sustenance. Going from breath, to voice, to note, to song, the essay journeys towards the possibility of a lasting song, sung together.

The last time a practitioner uses their tool, whether it’s a puppeteer’s puppet, a performer’s body, or an artist’s tool is a process of constant and uncertain negotiation. In this intimate montage of words and gestures on video, Kapil Paharia looks at the performer’s practice, asking how the use of the word ‘last’ and all its definitions affects how the tool is engaged with. Made in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, he asks how the absence of the tool affects the performer. How does this affect the process of performance and also one’s recollections or retellings of it?

While the words ‘last’ and ‘lasting’ may appear to point towards an apparent telos, we found ourselves in twelve processes that rejected any notion of culmination. Departures from a single word had accrued wide interpretations and pathways that stood in a state of still-forming. How do you choose a moment to stop, when it is not yet the end? In the state of ‘still-forming', are there several minute points that can be marked like little flag posts, to claim ‘already there’? Preparing final drafts of an essay or announcing that this edition is ready to be published was, in many ways, such a declaration. The final three essays of ‘Last(ing)’ especially represent this state of extended flux.

How would the meaning of creation shift if it honoured the very human experience of failure? These are some of the questions the author asks of her artistic practice, and of readers, in her essay on being a ‘beginner’ in dance and movement. What can a body that carries memories of various forms produce? What happens when movement becomes a mix or fusion of different vocabularies and approaches? What do the memories of various forms bring up in the body of the dancer? And what then are her roots or points of departure? The author chronicles her discovery of ‘rootlessness’, as her body adjusted to living through a pandemic, in the prolonged solitude and isolation that the body had to endure, or in the experience of illness, as the body fought Covid-19, then making a long and slow recovery. In layers of text accompanied by images shot in her bedroom and bathroom, both spaces her body came to inhabit deeply and enduringly through several lockdowns, the author offers prompts, questions and a sense of her own journey towards an ownership of this state of ‘rootlessness’ as embodied experience.

It lasts for a moment, and is a small movement. What if ordinary living was a series of these moments and movements that destabilise you, woven in and layered with each other across time and space. When life is systemically a series of happenings that throw you off, suddenness acquires a quality that is pervasive, invisible in its constancy, and slow. " In this essay, two members of Aagaaz Theatre Trust document the beginnings of a long-term engagement with 6 girls from Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti in New Delhi, a neighbourhood they have worked in individually, and then collectively, since 2009. How do chronic stressors and structural violence impact the lives of these girls? Then, what does the work of creating long-term adolescent support circles look like?

Vikram Iyengar | December 23, 2022 How do we know our bodies? What happens when connections between the mind and body seem to splinter? Vikram Iyengar chronicles his mother's journey through Alzheimer's Disease, noting the dramatic changes and shifts in physical, psychological, cognitive, and mental expression and ability over time, as a son, caregiver and dancer. He shares fragments from his 'Ma journal', where he records small details of listening to and experiencing his mother's imagination of time and space. This act of witnessing uncertain time and space begins to infiltrate his own documentation of his artistic practice, as he goes back and forth between choreographic works, textual references, conversations and memories.

Ranjana Dave | November 2018 What is the succulent, reactive potential of the body, vulnerable to ‘pressure’ but also capable of exerting it? How is it indented by, and in turn, able to indent, in the space and time of the now? Are its extremities entirely, physical and cellular, as a body that mediates its senses through technology, ‘watching’ on screens and ‘loving’ in hypertext? Can we leave this heterotopic notion of the body outside the studio space, severing the body from all its digital, social, historical, mechanical and philosophical extremities? Or is it time to disrupt our notion of the body, and ask of ourselves – where does the body begin and end, after all? + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841987418-H65K8S2HFOXOTZH6XML3/CTING+ON+RESISTANCE%3A+DEFINITIONS+AND+DISSONANCES 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - REFLECTING ON RESISTANCE: DEFINITIONS AND DISSONANCES Shanti Pillai | November 2018 To make and interpret performance in relation to “resistance” can be an empowering methodology for both practitioner and scholar. Yet what does resistance mean? The aspirations the concept invites are not always met with rigour of attempt to define it. This essay takes a brief look at influential models for conceptualising power and opposition that developed in the social sciences and cultural studies in the US and Europe during the 80s and 90s as a means to illuminate the assumptions frequently operating behind current references to resistance in the arts and arts scholarship. The discussion asserts the need for a more complex orientation to resistance as an artistic objective and analytical rubric, and advocates greater reflexivity in seeking to align a work of contemporary performance with a dangerous and utopic act. + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542609316295-A84JNZ3BBZ49QQK1L3E9/THINKING+ABOUT+ARTISTIC+MICRO-ACTIVISMS+IN+BRAZIL%3A+TWO+EXAMPLES 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - THINKING ABOUT ARTISTIC MICRO-ACTIVISMS IN BRAZIL: TWO EXAMPLES Christine Greiner | November 2018 Before being considered a language in its own right or becoming a field of studies, performance was an operator of destabilisation, the most significant political action of which would be to implode paradigms, models, habits and patterns. In an age of ‘artistic capitalism’, the author looks at the homegrown contexts of Brazil, where performance is used as a mode of rethinking communities. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841762906-S0TKF536TLD5GBDBADJB/O+IS+PERFORMING+WHOM+AND+UNDER+WHAT+CONDITIONS+ALONG+THE+NORTH-SOUTH+AXIS%3F 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - WHO IS PERFORMING WHOM AND UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS ALONG THE NORTH-SOUTH AXIS? Rahel Leupin | November 2018 Despite discourses of transnationalism, hybridity, globalisation, culturescapes and cosmopolitanism, the majority of art councils and arts institutions still function on the basis of national borders and passports. Financial engagement in the contemporary arts across the globe is dominated by the West and most often comes with implicit or even explicit connections and agenda-settings. Together with the artists Venuri Perera, Mallika Taneja, and Daniel Kok, the author seeks to vigilantly look at the contradictions of performance-making and curating along the North-South axis today and work through the questions: Who is actually performing with whom and under what conditions? And why now? + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841812881-1VEOJ5ZY6X8MC54SHE4B/RUMINATIONS+ON+ASIANNESS+AND+DANCE 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - RUMINATIONS ON ASIANNESS AND DANCE Nirmala Seshadri | November 2018 Asianness is the tag that is needed to justify the presence of the dancing body that is not trained in the western dance idiom. In Singapore, the classical Indian dancer (whether aware of it or not) exists at the intersection of multiple agendas – cultural essentialism, collective nostalgia for an imagined homeland, exoticism, multiculturalism, overt emphasis on religiosity, as well as an Indian nationalism that is increasingly mobile. In her essay, the author responds to a series of questions about ‘Asianness’, reflecting on choreographic strategies to circumnavigate the landscapes of aesthetics, politics and/or the arts market, which remains significantly dominated by the West? + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542841927129-S81YS02AFS1QBP796BCS/ING+RASA%2C+DEFYING+MELODY%3A+BODY+AND+SOUND+IN+PADMINI+CHETTUR%27S+BEAUTIFUL+THING+1 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - DEFYING RASA, DEFYING MELODY: BODY AND SOUND IN PADMINI CHETTUR'S BEAUTIFUL THING 1 Meghna Bhardwaj | November 2018 Proposing a methodology of studying contemporary dance practice, through its relationship to the embodiment of critique and sound-making, vis-à-vis its distancing from the employment of ‘harmonious’ and ‘melodic’ sounds in the process of choreography, the author chooses Padmini Chettur’s choreographic work Beautiful Thing 1 as her case study. Beautiful Thing 1 directly challenges the traditional idea of ‘music-accompanying-dance’ while aligning the extremely taut and edgy movements of a group of female dancers to sounds that may be called metronomic, acoustic, even silent or absent. How could the soundscape that the piece spans, as it lets the movements of female bodies emerge in a much-exposed and matter-of-fact manner, effectively replace the idea of rasa with friction as a proposed affect for the onlooker? + Read more https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542614601644-0KIS6J74KNIXQD0P9Y1L/ING+DRAUPADI+IN+THE+POETICS+AND+POLITICS+OF+PERFORMANCE+IN+CONTEMPORARY+INDIA 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - LOCATING DRAUPADI IN THE POETICS AND POLITICS OF PERFORMANCE IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA Urmimala Sarkar Munsi | November 2018 This paper tries to bring together different ways in which the woman named Draupadi becomes represented in performances around her in India - travelling across time and geopolitical spaces, through the performances of the scene of game of dice, with representational or derivative interpretations of Draupadi of Mahabharata. In its non-linear narrative, it attempts to see Draupadi’s travel through time and space of performative representations as choices of reflections put forward by performers, thus giving her a specific role as the representative of women as vulnerable subjects in Indian society. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542615416498-LZE1MOAEBD5479FCCD7F/In+Solidarity%2C+Together+or+Alone 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - In Solidarity, Together or Alone Poorna Swami | November 2018 The image of the physical body—arms and legs and ribs and guts—holds visible presence in the way we recall India’s history of protest. This inherent potential in the physical body to be a succinct vehicle for, and symbol of, resistance is fertile ground for the choreography of protest in performance. + Read More https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1542610693558-X2JJWYKSTGIW4SFJZT0G/AIN%E2%80%99T+I+A+%5BHU%5DMAN%3F 2018 | Strategies of Resistance (Copy) - AIN’T I A [HU]MAN? Kopano Maroga | November 2018 How can we think of ways of disidentifying with cultural modes that would have us be represented linearly, statically and monothematically? Kopano Maroga looks at the work of two artists, commenting on how they ‘choose differently’ in their work, insofar as the politics of representation are concerned. + Read More https://www.indent.in/uploads-and-downloads-internal daily 0.75 2022-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1669239852372-PR9WIEJ2QKKISQH1MNGD/Illustration+Amulya.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1669239865945-TVKN229I8AIP4L2ABPHG/Illustration+Andrea.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1669239889374-XUG9VA01BUAVB6FLXS0O/Illustration+Babina.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671380928785-C6CI4GRDC1SZCH2LME7G/Illustration+Andrea.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1669239898146-T924WO60JVYXYBZALM91/Illustration+Johanna.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1669239912359-SAN6LTQEBZ8BTAVE8GTC/Illustration+Nisha-Manjari.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671380954962-TTGD4TUMGXF6FMSZDND7/Illustration+Anish-Vidur.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671380953165-U6DJLC4K8G2XFS23ECUT/Illustration+Babina.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671380971524-VMQNEU0D21GI5GUXGMKJ/Illustration+Dayita.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671380985266-1ERJ3VORERZDSKV16JDH/Illustration+Jasmine.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671380993402-QT8263PLQLOJN9B8AX8L/Illustration+Johanna.png Uploads and downloads Internal https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bbf29a011f784481d96c6e4/1671381015899-8I14ZSWUEVEYWKU1WKHT/Illustration+Kapil.png Uploads and downloads Internal
