natyam
Natyam is a club for the practice of two South Indian classical dance forms: Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi. Natyam is the sanskrit word for \"dance.\" Members will be able to learn, practice, and share items from a traditional Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi margam (repertoire.) The goal of Natyam is to encourage the practice of Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi in their pure classical forms; thus, all items learned will be purely classical numbers. Natyam is a lower time commitment club, which will have weekly meetings. Every meeting, we will warm up, review some adavus (steps) of Bharatanatyam, and continue work on a dance item of choice. No audition is required to join, however, previous training in Bharatanatyam or Kuchipudi is required.

Reviewed by: At Home in the World: Bharata Natyam on the Global Stage Avanthi Meduri At Home in the World: Bharata Natyam On The Global Stage. By Janet O'Shea, Middletown, Connecticut, Wesleyan University Press, 2007. 240 pp. 21 illus. Paper $26.95; Cloth $70.00. Janet O'Shea's celebratory book on bharatanatyam, (bharata natyam in this book), the quintessential national and classical dance of India, describes the transition of the dance from its beginnings in the temples and courts of South India to a highly respected international dance practice, presented on global stages today. The book is important reading for dance scholars because it culls dance scholarship articulated in dance anthropology, area studies, subaltern studies, postcolonial studies, cultural, religious and performance studies since the 1980s. In addition, O'Shea provides a new conceptual perspective by situating the history and choreographic practice of bharatanatyam, within both an areas studies and transnational framework. She then proceeds to tell the story of the transnationalization of twentieth-century bharatanatyam within a local/global framework.
To develop this transnational framework, O'Shea focuses on three dance pioneers of bharatanatyam: T. Balasaraswati, belonging herself to traditional devadasi temple traditions; Rukmini Devi, the first upper class Brahmin woman of international stature to learn the dance in the 1930s; and E. Krishna Iyer, an activist nationalist, who urged women like Rukmini Devi to learn the dance in the 1930s. Although O'Shea invokes the model of two women and a man, her main focus, is on the two women and how they shaped their influential visions for twentieth-century bharatanatyam in the 1930s and 1940s. O'Shea explains that the representative regional and national visions, constituted by the two women in the formative stages of these decades, were reconfigured by bharatanatyam dancers in the diaspora of the late 1980s.
The 1950s were transformative years in the twentieth century dance revival. Both T. Balasraswati and Rukmini Devi were feted with numerous national awards and staged as two national icons or bhushans (jewels) of the Indian nation in the 1950s. Balasaraswati, who in fact, almost gave up dancing in the war years, which she described as "dog years", was returned to center stage through the timely intervention of V. Raghavan and Vatsyayan. She began teaching her Balaswarwati style bharatanatyam from within the institutional context of the Madras Music Academy, a premier, national institution for Indian performing arts in the 1950s.
