Bharatanatyam III - South Indian Classical Dance Level III
DANC 382 SP
This course may be repeated for credit.
This course offers advanced theoretical, historical and performative perspectives on Bharatanatyam. It covers topics such as post-colonial perspectives on hereditary performers, globalization and the commoditization of
Bharatanatyam
practice, and critical approaches to Indian dance history. In terms of studio work, the course involves the performance of nineteenth-century compositions, largely from the imperial city of Tanjavur. Students are
required
to have taken either Bharatanatyam I (DANC261) or Bharatanatyam II (DANC362). This is to ensure that students have a foundation in both the practical and theoretical study of Bharatanatyam prior to enrolling in this
course.
