A listening body is a dance/-theatre experience based on dancer January Low's thoughts and questions in and around Odissi. Informed by a practice that spans 30 years, and more recently empowered by a virtual mentorship with Odissi exponent Bijayini Satpathy, January has deepened her relationship with Odissi by actively listening and responding to her body, mind and environment. This work peels away the commodified and exoticised layers of Odissi to reveal a relationship that is personal, vulnerable and respectful, enabling agency for both audience and performer to be equal partners in the experience.

In this episode, independent dance practitioner and writer Ranjana Dave talks to us about the evolution of Indian classical dance, and what it means for dance to be political.‘In Perspective' is The Swaddle's podcast series where academics reveal little-known facts about Indian history, society and culture. Notes: 00:00:47:09- How do we interrogate the relationship between classical dance and contemporary Indian society? Is classical dance a rigid art form, or is there scope for fluidity and evolution of the form with time?00:05:17:06- What notions of gender and gender roles do we see in these narratives, and do dancers question some of these narratives through the way in which they perform them?00:08:50:04- Are contemporary performers of classical dance bringing ideas of queerness and consent into stories they depict, especially canonical ones? 00:10:39:24- Are there common notions of the perfect ‘ideal' body that are espoused across different dance forms? How are contemporary movement artists questioning these notions?00:13:38:15- Do ideas of transgressive desire percolate in classical dance forms? Are there ways in which contemporary movement artists are making those speak to society?00:17:41:18- Does theIndian classical dance community resist these transgressive narratives and interpretations of canonical stories, because of ideas about the purity of form?00:19:33:16- Has there been a history of resistance through dance in India?00:22:28:02- As the internet becomes central to our content consumption, in what ways is dance interacting with the digital medium, and is this resulting in an evolution of the form?

Her belief is that by educating and empowering women and children, they will give masterful performances, not only on stage but also in life. In one of her major pivots in life, she left Analytics on Wall Street to follow her passion for dance and founded Aangan Academy, a school for Indian dance, yoga, culture and lore. She uses a proprietary Mukti Mastery system of teaching, connecting mind, body and spirit, to teach Odissi Dance and Yoga Classes for kids and Holistic Movement Workshops for adults. Her vision is that of a compassionate world by way of personal transformations through self-awareness, movement and balance.

Ganga Sheth shares her story of life falling apart due to physical injury.  As a professional dancer who just moved to India to study classical Odissi style dance, losing the ability to walk or move on her own challenged her sense of personal identity along with her sense of purpose and spiritual connection.  What do we do when our life's calling seems to be stripped away from us?  How do we maintain faith in a higher plan when everything we've been building towards in life is suddenly gone?  Ganga takes us through her process of answering these questions for herself, which includes dealing with grief, letting go, and opening herself up to new ways of viewing herself and her life's calling.    https://www.instagram.com/dayal.gauranga/ https://www.instagram.com/ganga.devii/ https://dayalgauranga.com/ https://devii.org/

Bijayini Satpathy, came of age as a classical Odissi dancer at Nrityagram – a dance village in South India, founded in 1990 by the socialite and danseuse Protima Gauri Bedi.When Bijayini decided to leave Nrityagram and strike out on her own in 2018, she told Marina Harss of the New York Times that she had a (I quote) “strong urge to push into an untouched and unexplored dimension, before it was too late.” And, even though she felt a “shocking sense of loss” of her hold on dance at the self-imposed severance, she has rebuilt herself. It has been as if she was compelled to undertake a painful path to fully realize her dream. Bijayini Satpathy spoke to me from her home, outside Bangalore and not very far from the Nrityagram campus. Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=HGJKF8TKYSKRN)

On the 10th episode of Indian Artpreneur Season 2, “The resilient Entrepreneurs” we speak to Datuk Ramli Ibrahim, the Artistic Director and Chairman of Sutra Foundation. Described by international dance connoisseurs as one of the finest artistes of his generation, Ramli Ibrahim is a cultural icon who has performed internationally for more than four decades. His rigorous training in ballet, modern, and Indian classical dance reflects not only his diverse technical accomplishment, but also his multifaceted approach to the performing arts. As artistic director of Sutra Dance Theatre, Ramli has choreographed stunning works and nurtured some of the brightest dance talents from Malaysia, many of whom have won international acclaim in both traditional and contemporary scenes. Ramli has been instrumental in transforming the dance scenario in Malaysia to greater heights. Today, he is known for single‐handedly establishing Odissi as a recognisable and widely appreciated dance form in the country, while creating a distinctively Malaysian interpretation of this ancient tradition. As a pioneer, Ramli is recognised internationally within the arts scene, evident in the numerous accolades conferred upon him. He is acknowledged as a ‘Living Heritage’ by the Government of Malaysia as the United Nations declared him to be a UNESCO Living Treasure in 2012. The President of India awarded Ramli the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi Award 2011, the first ever for a Malaysian.

He was most recently conferred the Padma Shri Award from the Government of India in April 2018.

Directed by actor-director Renuka Shahahe and starring Tanvi Azmi, Kajol and Mithila Palkar in lead roles, the film pushes you to re-examine your relationship with your mothers. Contrary to the notion that moms know everything and they can never be wrong Tribhanga tells you that it is absolutely fine for a mother to make wrong choices and no child should ever judge them. But at the same time it also emphasizes on the need to have a better communication with your mother. The plot revolves around Kajol,  plays a famous actor and Odissi dancer Anuradha Apte and she resents her mother Nayan, played by Tanvi for not giving her a childhood that one should get. Adding to the dynamics is Anu's daughter Masha played by Mithila whose bond with her mother has its own journey. Tribhanga is about how their life choices transform their relationship with each other and what happens when self-realizations happen. The film is now streaming of Netflix.

Bronze hand used in the worship of Sabazius. Roman, 1st-2nd century AD Sabazius, a god of Thracian or Anatolian origin, became popular in the Roman Empire, and had connections both with Jupiter and Dionysos. Hands decorated with religious symbols were designed to stand in sanctuaries or, like this one, were attached to poles for processional use. British Museum Cat. Bronzes 876Mudras are symbolic powerful gestures expressed through the human body. As Hinduism is of the opinion that what is in Microcosm is in the Microcosm,the expressions of the body help in Realizing the Self. This is used as an Art form as well. Various system of Dancing Bharata Natya,Kathakali,Odissi and other forms in India follow the Mudras to express emotions. Indian life is permeated with Spiritual life in daily activites,right from wKing up to going bed. So, it is not surprising that art forms use Mudras,essentially a spiritual practice are used in Dance. There are 108 Mudras. Mudras are expressed through fingers as well and this is used in performing Mantras Essentially Mudras signify the The Unity of Reality and the individual Self.

Also we have the Union Mudra,that indicates the Union of Brahman the Macro Reality with Atman, the Micro Reality. I shall be writing on Mudras in detail. It is found that the ancient Romans and Greeks were using the Mudras. Much later, the Byzantine Greek encyclopedia, Suda (10th century?), flatly states “Sabazios… is the same as Dionysos. He acquired this form of address from the rite pertaining to him; for the barbarians call the bacchic cry ‘sabazein'. Hence some of the Greeks too follow suit and call the cry ‘sabasmos'; thereby Dionysos [becomes] Sabazios. They also used to call ‘saboi' those places that had been dedicated to him and his Bacchantes… Demosthenes [in the speech] ‘On Behalf of Ktesiphon' [mentions them]. Some say that Saboi is the term for those who are dedicated to Sabazios, that is to Dionysos, just as those [dedicated] to Bakkhos [are] Bakkhoi. They say that Sabazios and Dionysos are the same. Thus some also say that the Greeks call the Bakkhoi Saboi.” ‘ The ecstatic Eastern rites practiced largely by women in Athens were thrown together for rhetorical purposes by Demosthenes in undermining his opponent Aeschines for participating in his mother's cultic associations: “On attaining manhood you abetted your mother in her initiations and the other rituals, and read aloud from the cultic writings …You rubbed the fat-cheeked snakes and swung them above your head, crying Euoi saboi and hues attes, attes hues https://ramanisblog.in/2017/03/01/yoga-mudras-in-ancient-rome-greece/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

Gitanjali Kolanad (Toronto) has been involved in the practice, performance, and teaching of bharatanatyam for close to forty years, performing in major cities in Europe, America and India with performances that uniquely incorporate folk and ritual forms of dance, theatre and martial art forms from South India.  Her short story collection “Sleeping with Movie Stars” was published in January 2011 by Penguin India, and she has written numerous articles on aspects of Indian dance for well-known Indian publications, India Magazine, Sruti and The Arts House.  In 2016 she was the Singapore International Writer in Residence National University of Singapore, and at Shiv Nadar University she was part of developing their performing arts program.  A previous book of hers “Culture Shock: India” published by Marshall Cavendish, is now into its third edition, and has been translated into Korean.  As a co-founder of IMPACT - Indian Martial and Performance Arts Collective of Toronto, she teaches the Indian martial art form of kalaripayat to at-risk youth.  Her work has often been multi-disciplinary, arising out of collaborations with artists from other disciplines: director Phillip Zarrilli, video/installation artist Ray Langenbach, poet Judith Kroll, and violinist Parmela Attariwala, to name a few.  In particular her long time collaboration with US theatre director Phillip Zarrilli, who was both a leading practitioner and scholar of Indian performance styles, led to innovative performances such as the solo dance piece “Walking Naked” which was an enigmatic performance piece which dealt with the life and poetry of the 12th century Karnataka poet-saint Mahadeviyakka.  Mahadevi was a poet who was said to have run away from her arranged marriage in order to remain a devotee of Siva. Discovered "walking naked" by a community of Siva devotees, the story went that on her wedding night when her husband grabbed hold of her sari she kept walking, leaving it unwind as she walked.  This unfathomable life of spiritual dedication met equally inspired staging and a long process of detailed investigation with Zarrilli that led to the use of three different puppets, each of which had a transformational journey enacted by Kolanad. Her most recent work "Girl Made of Gold" is a novel set as a murder mystery and taking place around the figure of a devadasi - the female dance artist who were dedicated to worship and serve a deity or a temple in a ceremony similar to a marriage one. Historically these women took care of the temple and performed the rituals dances from a practice of classical Indian artistic traditions such as Bharatanatyam, Kuchipudi, and Odissi. Kolanad walks an unique line where she delicately balances the role of both the dancer, the danced and the dancing as she embodies the role of not only the dancer but of someone able to articulate her practice from a variety of perspectives. In this capacity she is in the process of writing a non fiction book about dance.  Website   ---------- Make Monday Mine is hosted by Deborah Claire Procter and produced by Clear Insight Productions This is about conversations so we’d love to hear your thoughts and take-aways.  Email your questions and comments to: comments@makemondaymine.com If you enjoyed this episode then it would be wonderful if you can head over to Apple Podcasts and kindly leave us a rating, a review and subscribe! ----------

This podcast explores the artistry of Sreyashi Dey's interpretations of the Mahabharata through the Odissi style of Classical Indian Dance. Dey sought to restory the life of Hidimba, a minor female character in the Mahabharata who is marginalized within structures of ethnic and class power. Alongside this artistic narrative, we explore Vrinda Dalmiya's exploration of feminist care ethics and the storied contrast between masculine order and principle against the vulnerable, embodied, and contextually situated ethic of care. Our exploration of care and restorying deepens our notions of care and narrative within peace work.

Devika Bilimoria and I speak about the moment in time, capturing beauty and constant change in light, lighting design, space and being. Also how much trust and well being is needed in order to be our true selfs and feel as best as we can. You can see her amazing work at www.devikabilimoria.com and meet her at the mapping Melbourne festival: http://multiculturalarts.com.au/event/home/ http://multiculturalarts.com.au/event/murti/ Please say hi and ask a question on Instagram: thomas_mnich Devika Bilimoria (b.1985, Ba Fiji) is an interdisciplinary artist who dissects migrated rituals, dance and gesture to conjure contemporary experiences of hybridity. She utilises material such as paint, digital data, and her body to engage interconnectivity, intention and intra-action. Through site-responsive movement, repetition and digital technology Devika explores the ontological conundrum of inside/outside, which queer ecology examines. Her education spans from both a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies and Fine Arts (Photography) at RMIT, to Bharata Natyam and Odissi training at the Chandrabhanu Bharatalaya Academy of Indian Dance in Melbourne since 1995. Devika has been a finalist for the Bowness Photography Prize 2015 and 2018, the Nillumbik Prize for her video pieces in 2016 and 2018, and the Macquarie Digital Portrait Award, screening her video piece An Arctic Time Signatureat the National Portrait Gallery in ACT, 2015.
