Book Summary
Dancing Bodies of Devotion: Fluid Gestures in Bharata Natyam examines how
Bharata Natyam, a traditionally Hindu storytelling dance form, moves across
religious boundaries through choreographic incorporation of Buddhist, Christian,
Muslim, and Jain themes and the pluralistic identities of dancers. Dancers
traverse religious boundaries by reformulating an aesthetic foundation based on
performative rather than solely textual understandings of rasa, conventionally
defined as a formula for how to physically craft emotion on stage. Through the
ethnographic case studies of this volume, dancers of Bharata Natyam innovatively
demonstrate how the rasa of devotion (bhakti rasa), surprisingly absent from
classic dance-related texts, serves as the pivotal framework for expanding on
their own interreligious
