No country in the world is blessed with a greater variety of forms in music, dance and theatre than ours. One of the theatre forms generally described as folk but possessing a strong classical connection is the Yakshagana. Although the name signifies the music of celestial beings, Yakshagana is an amalgam of the sky with the earth. There is both mystery and robustness about this form in which singing and drumming merge with dancing, and words with gestural interpretation, and players clad m costumes of striking colour and contours. It is the cherished cultural possession of the coastal districts of Karnataka. Dr. K.S. Karanth is the foremost living authority on Yakshagana and has been working on all its aspects, namely—dance, music, and literature, since 1930. He has led the way to a deep and systematic study of this art form. He has spent decades travelling to remote villages within Karnataka to inspect and study every Yakshagana manuscript, the earliest going back to A.D. 1651. With his fine literary judgement and aesthetic sensibility, he has traced the changing trends in the performance of Yakshagana. He has interacted with hundreds of Yakshagana artistes to find out what customs in training and interpretation had prevailed earlier and had fallen into disuse and deserved to be resuscitated. He has put together his findings in the shape of two standard books YakshaganaBayalata (1958) in Kannada, and Yakshagana in Kannada and English (1975). The present volume is a revised edition of the earlier book, with additional material and illustrations. It is hoped that the book will provide valuable insights into one of the most attractive and dynamic art forms of our land, as well as into a penetrative mind.

Folk Culture, The Perennial Substratum Of The Sophisticated Metropolitan Culture, Takes Many Lively And Colourful Forms. This Is Particularly True In India. This Book Is A Study Of One Such Expression Of The Folk Culture Obtained In South Kanara, India. It Is Not One Of Those Dry Academic Studies Usually Made By Foreign Scholars. For The Authors, The Book Has Been A Passionate Involvement In A Traditional Art Form Yakshagana. The American Authors Have Put Down Their Experience With The Hope That The Reader Will Enjoy An Imaginary Trip To South Kanara, A Walk Through The Fields And A Thrilling Night Of Yakshagana. In A Lively Style, This Book Brings Home To The Readers Almost Everything About This Particular Form Of Dance-Drama, The Music, Dance Costumes And Make-Up And Impromptu Dialogue As Well As Its Literature On Which The Dramatic Themes Are Based, The Rituals Performed Before, During, And After The Drama, The Organization Of A Troupe, The Existing Troupes, And The Training Of The Performers. With Nineteen Four-Colour Reproductions, Twenty-Tree Black-And-White Illustrations And Eighteen Line Drawings, Yakshagana Has Something To Offer To Each Of Its Readers. For Those Trained In Music There Is The Style Of Singing And Rhythms Peculiar To Yakshagana. And Those Who Are Learned In Poetry, Religious Epics And Legends Can Revel In The Beauty Of The Poetry, And Those Who Have A Sense Of Colour And Design Can Be Enchanted By The Costumes And Make-Up. The Readers Will Vicariously Experience The Intricate Steps Of The Dance, Not To Be Seen In Any Other Indian Dance Forms, Yet They Are Characteristically Indian. Yakshagana, As Experienced By The Authors, Reveals The Deeper Meanings Of The Indian Epics And Legends Through The Extempore Dialogue Of The Performers. Their Descriptions Of The Risqué Humour Of The Buffoon And His Comic Movements Come Alive Before The Readers. Here Is A Point Of Departure For More Study In New Directions, Valuable To The Students Of Arts And Folk Culture, And Yet Tempting The General Readers With Its Rich Fare Of Aesthetic And Intellectual Experiences. Yakshagana Is Tempting To The Booklover In Many Other Ways: The Subject Of The Book Has Been Presented And Decorated By One Of The Famous Indian Artists K.K. Hebbar, And Introduced By C. Sivaramamurti, A Noted Historian And Archaeologist Whose Deep Knowledge In Inconography Has Made Rich Contributions To The Study And Understanding Of The Ancient And Medieval Visual Arts In This Country.

Impersonations: The Artifice of Brahmin Masculinity in South Indian Dance centers on an insular community of Smarta Brahmin men from the Kuchipudi village in Telugu-speaking South India who are required to don stri-vesam (woman’s guise) and impersonate female characters from Hindu religious narratives. Impersonation is not simply a gender performance circumscribed to the Kuchipudi stage, but a practice of power that enables the construction of hegemonic Brahmin masculinity in everyday village life. However, the power of the Brahmin male body in stri-vesam is highly contingent, particularly on account of the expansion of Kuchipudi in the latter half of the twentieth century from a localized village performance to a transnational Indian dance form. This book analyzes the practice of impersonation across a series of boundaries—village to urban, Brahmin to non-Brahmin, hegemonic to non-normative—to explore the artifice of Brahmin masculinity in contemporary South Indian dance.

After Independence, in 1947, in their efforts to create an 'Indian' theatre that was different from the Westernized, colonial theatre, Indian theatre practitioners began returning to their 'roots' in classical dance, religious ritual, martial arts, popular entertainment and aesthetic theory. The Theatre of Roots - as this movement was known - was the first conscious effort at creating a body of work for urban audiences combining modern European theatre with traditional Indian performance while maintaining its distinction from both. By addressing the politics of aesthetics and by challenging the visual practices, performer/spectator relationships, dramaturgical structures and aesthetic goals of colonial performance, the movement offered a strategy for reassessing colonial ideology and culture and for articulating and defining a newly emerging 'India'. Theatre of Roots presents an in-depth analysis of this movement: its innovations, theories, goals, accomplishments, problems and legacies.
