Extractions: Classical Dance of IndiaAn Overview Indian classical dancer Parimal Phadke explains some of the subtleties of this ancient art. by Parimal Phadke India is a country of diverse cultures, traditions and languages, and this diversity is very much evident in its dance. India can boast of some six major classical dance styles. It becomes a matter of intrigue as to how so many styles evolved within a period of 22 centuries. But we can definitely link them in some way to the dance that existed during the 2nd century BC with the help of a treatise called "Natyashastra." "Natyashastra" actually means the principles of dramaturgy. Then how does a treatise on drama contain invaluable information on dance and music? It was because ancient theatre in India was an amalgamation of all the performing arts. Thus, an actor or an actress also had to be an expert in dance and music. This treatise lays down two aspects of dance that even today are considered canons of Indian Classical dance. 1)"Nritta," or pure dance.
Extractions: The Hopi Indians live in Pueblos on and around three Mesas in Northern Arizona in the center of the Navajo reservation. They are bound together by their religion which includes and depends on Kachina spirits. Kachinas are the spirit essence of everything in the world of the Hopi Indians. The Kachina season begins in late December and starts the dances which continue through July. The Kachinas dance for precipitation, the growth of crops and the increase of both wild and domestic plants and animals. Kachina dolls are carved to give to children at these dances. The Hopi Indians carve Kachinas out of cottonwood root. They have been carving them for sale since the mid-1800's and the detail has gotten considerably more fine since the 1960's. A Kachina carved from one piece of wood with very fine detail will be much more expensive than one with more added pieces. One with a lot of motion will be more expensive than a Kachina that is standing still. Collectors should make sure that Kachinas are carved by Hopi Indians as opposed to a Navajo copy. The Kachinas have no significance to the Navajos. We buy only Hopi Kachinas directly from the artists.
