Last updated in August 1999, this site would benefit from being updated as the author, Sangeeta Kaul Matu, has written a separate page where she situates herself in relation to her Indian heritage and to the present day. This acknowledgement of subjectivity gives the dances particular personal significance.

167. WOVOKA: The Paiute Messiah Story of the indian religious leader and the forcible suppression of his Ghost dance. http://www.viewzone.com/wovoka.html

T H E P A I U T E M E S S I A H By Robert A. Toledo "When the Sun died, I went up to Heaven and saw God and all the people who had died a long time ago. God told me to come back and tell my people they must be good and love one another, and not fight, or steal or lie. He gave me this dance to give to my people." W ith these words, spoken by a Paiute rancher named Wovoka to describe a dream he experienced during a full eclipse on New Year's Day of 1889, the Native American Ghost Dance religion came into being. Few people, either Native or white, could have imagined the tragedy which would arise from this new faith within two years of this jolting statement. But while the brief and bloody history of the Ghost Dance has been well documented, the story of its creator remains curiously elusive. Few people have had a more profound effect on Native American history as Wovoka, yet his story has nearly been lost to time. Wovoka was believed to have been born in the year 1854 in the Sierras of Nevada. By the time of his birth, white settlers had already laid stake to the territory and the Paiute nation saw its world degenerate into a state of cheap labor for the white man. While Tavibo's standing as a prophet waned with each new visit to the mountain, Nevada found itself at a unique theological crossroads. The settlers from the east brought Christianity and missionaries of the Catholic and Mormon faiths worked zealously to "save" Native peoples. (Some historians claim that Wovoka briefly practiced the Shaker faith, which enjoyed some degree of popularity in the east since colonial times, but there was also a Native religious movement known as the Shakers from the Puget Sound area of Washington State, which shared similar rituals and prophecies with Ghost Dance. Perhaps there is confusion between the two Shaker movements, though research has not confirmed Wovoka's devotion to either faith.) It was under David Wilson's protection that Wovoka (who was renamed Jack Wilson) became exposed to Christian concepts.

Composed and popular among the troops during the "Sioux Outbreak" campaign of 1890. The Red Skins left their Agency, the Soldiers left their Post, All on the strength of an Indian tale about Messiah's ghost Got up by savage chieftains to lead their tribes astray; But Uncle Sam wouldn't have it so, for he ain't built that way. They swore that this Messiah came to them in visions sleep, And promised to restore their game and Buffalos a heap, So they must start a big ghost dance, then all would join their land, And may be so we lead the way into the great Bad Land. Chorus: They claimed the shirt Messiah gave, no bullet could go through, But when the Soldiers fired at them they saw this was not true. The Medicine man supplied them with their great Messiah's grace, And he, too, pulled his freight and swore the 7th hard to face. About their tents the Soldiers stood, awaiting one and all

Nataraja - The Cosmic Dancer Classical dances Folk Dances It is said that the gods created dance as a device for entertainment. Later, in order to please the gods, human beings enacted the tale and glory of the gods. Thus began a cycle of celebration manifested in the joyous abandon of movement and music. Over a period of two millennia, dance in India acquired a set grammar, which led to a certain codification of technique. Thus were sown the seeds for Bharata Muni's celebrated treatise on dance, the NATYA SHASTRA . Bharata's Natya Shastra (believed to be penned between second century B.C. and second century A.D.) is the earliest available treatise on dramaturgy. All forms of Indian classical dances owe allegiance to Natya Shastra, regarded as the fifth Veda The fascination for Indian dance all over the world is indicative of the deep-felt needs to use the human body to express and celebrate the great universal truths. Indian dance does just that in a heightened, reverential form. Also, since dance is physical and visual, it illuminates India's culture in a direct manner, playing on the sensibilities of the onlooker. Thus, those who are attracted to India will find the idiom of dance the best introduction to India's rich ethos and traditions.

179. Modern Dance - Www.artindia.net Article on evolutions of this dance form in India from beginnings with Uday Shankar in the ealy 20th century. Also, listing of dancers and institutions. http://www.artindia.net/modern.html

I Other dance forms I M O D E R N Modern Dance in India has a relatively short history. Since the perception of 'modern' or 'contemporary' can vary from dancer to dancer, this dance form cannot be defined as easily as the classical dance styles of India. It is also not codified in a detailed manner, as are the classical styles. Uday Shankar, who was born in the early years of the 20th century, is widely accepted as the Father of Modern Dance in India. This great dancer had a very wide vision, and he appreciated the wonderful variety and scope of expression afforded by the different classical and folk dances extant in the country. His search for a personal expression led him to incorporate different dance styles, such as Bharata Natyam and Kathakali into his choreographic productions. He established an idyllic institution in the hills of Kumaon, where he invited teachers from different genres to train his troupe in order to groom their bodies to a state where they could produce a varied, rich and contemporary dance vocabulary. Uday Shankar was an idealist as well as a wonderful showman. He was a catalyst in the renaissance of interest in Indian arts during the 1930s and '40s, and he introduced audiences in the West to Indian dance and music through the performances of his troupe.

180. Dances Of India The origin of classical dance in India goes back to 2BC when the ancient dance in India is guided by the elaborate codes in the Natya Shastra and by http://www.spindlepub.com/india/dance.htm

Handbook for Asian Indians 1997-1998 Heritage Edition India: Fact Book for Children Dances of India The origin of classical dance in India goes back to 2BC when the ancient treatise on dance, Natya Shastra, was compiled. Dance in India is guided by the elaborate codes in the Natya Shastra and by mythology, legend and classical literature. Classical dance forms have rigid rules for presentation. Among the leading forms of classical dance are Bharata Natyam, Kathakali, Kathak, Manipuri, Odissi, Kuchipudi and Mohini Attam. Bharata Natyam , originating in Tamil Nadu, has movements of pure rhythm, rendering a story dramatically in different moods. For a long time, Bharata Natyam was performed only in temples by dancers in service of the temple, the devadasis. The dancers must learn the language of gestures, mudras - so as to express feelings, movements and characters in the stories which she narrates through dance. Kathakali (pictured here), the dance drama from Kerala, requires the artist to wear elaborate make-up. The colors on the face are symbolic of the characters the dancer is depicting. The stories for attakathas (the verse text for a kathakali piece) are selected from epics and mythologies and are written in a highly sanskritised verse form in Malayalam. The actor does not speak, but expresses himself through highly complicated and scientifically ordained mudras and steps, closely following the text being sung from offstage. The principal classical dance of north India
