It suggests an alternative reading of the history of patronage, policies, and institutionalized understanding of categories such as classical, folk, modern, popular, and Bollywood that hierarchizes some dances as 'more' dance than others. It is of great interest to scholars looking at performing arts such as dance as a tool for identity assertions. It offers diverse possibilities of understanding dance through its inherent sociopolitical possibilities as a participatory or presentational tool for communication. The multidisciplinary approach brings together perspectives from critical dance studies, anthropology, history, and gender studies to connect embodied archives of different communities to create an intersectional methodology of studying dance in India as a powerful but marginal expressive art practice. Accessible at multiple levels, the content is relevant for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers across dance, dance education, theatre, and performance studies. 0aDance. 0aPerforming arts. 0aTheater. 0aSex.14aDance.24aTheatre and Performance Arts.24aGender Studies.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978981997358308iPrinted edition:z978981997360608iPrinted edition:z9789819973613 0aPerformance Studies & Cultural Discourse in South Asia,x2731-5096 ;v240uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-7359-0
