Hardcover. Condition: New. This publication gathers history, transformations and choreographies in the field of Manipuri dance traditions primarily from the perspective of practitioners experiences, recollections and proficiency. The book aims to collate a gamut of themes ranging from the dances performed in the centuries-old socio-religious ritual the Lai Haraoba, as well as contemporary, thematic productions staged for a curious audience. The book is a compilation of essays penned by renowned artists as well as emerging dancers and scholars who highlight a broad range of interests, information, experiences, and practices associated with Manipuri dance style(s). Manipuri dance tradition can be viewed as the oldest and the youngest classical dance style of India. Believed to have originated thousands of years ago from the rituals and oral traditions performed by indigenous communities residing in the region now called Manipur, movements and philosophies have undergone metamorphosis and developed into practices which were very distinct from rest of India.

These movement traditions are recognised as living traditions where dance and music are offered to the pantheons of many divinities every season. This publication attempts to bring the many dimensions of Manipuri dance to fore most importantly, how rituals that are danced can also take the shape of a choreography, and how movements traverse between enshrined spaces and the proscenium stage. This publication has been conceived and planned for the Silver Jubilee celebration of Purbachal Navanandanik Movement Arts (Kolkata, India) an institution specialising on classical Manipuri dance founded in 1996 by Vidus.…

The volumes of the Project on the History of Science Philosophy and Culture in Indian Civilization aim at discovering the main aspects of India's heritage and present them in an interrelated way. In spite of their unitary look these volumes recognize the difference between the areas of material civilization and those of ideational culture. The project is not being executed by a single group of thinkers and writers who are methodologically uniform or ideologically identical in their commitments. The project is marked by what may be called methodological pluralism. Inspite of its primarily historical character this project both in its conceptualization and execution has been. …
