This relates to an <b>inner sen\u00adsa\u00adtion<\/b> rather than an expli\u00adcit model.

In the slow move\u00adments I&nbsp;had reco\u00adgni\u00adzed an appli\u00adca\u00adtion of the very laws taught by Mal\u00adkovs\u00adky, nota\u00adbly the use of spine as the \u2019tree of life\u2019 of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, after seve\u00adral years of pre\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adtion, in 1978 I&nbsp;left for India to stu\u00addy with famous Kathak mas\u00adter Pan\u00addit Bir\u00adju Maha\u00adraj. Ini\u00adtial\u00adly I&nbsp;hoped a&nbsp;couple of months might be enough to unders\u00adtand the basic sys\u00adtem and make it part of my own research. In rea\u00adli\u00adty, 6&nbsp;months later my main achie\u00adve\u00adment was to have learnt how to bind the <em>ghungh\u00adrus<\/em> (bells) so that they would not hurt my ankles&nbsp;!

For ins\u00adtance, my awa\u00adre\u00adness of time evol\u00adved until I&nbsp;was able to reco\u00adgnize the intri\u00adca\u00adcy of flows of ener\u00adgy, and almost unno\u00adti\u00adceable but essen\u00adtial move\u00adments at very fast tem\u00adpo. The laws I&nbsp;had been taught were still valid, but they had been expan\u00added throu\u00adghout cen\u00adtu\u00adries. \u2019Unin\u00adter\u00adrup\u00adted research\u2019 is per\u00adhaps the dee\u00adpest mea\u00adning of \u2019tra\u00addi\u00adtion\u2019 in India.

The first time I&nbsp;attemp\u00adted it was with <em>Zin\u00adde\u00adgi<\/em>, an evo\u00adca\u00adtion of the life of a&nbsp;Pakis\u00adta\u00adni woman who was both a&nbsp;poet and a&nbsp;dis\u00adtres\u00adsed, seclu\u00added per\u00adson. I&nbsp;found that wor\u00adking on mul\u00adtiple dimen\u00adsions of time was be the pro\u00adper way to express her conflic\u00adting states of conscious\u00adness. (9)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2019Fusion\u2019 dance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We use the word \u2019fusion\u2019 to desi\u00adgnate inter\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adral approaches in which artists may attempt to merge, oppose or \u2019decons\u00adtruct\u2019 tech\u00adni\u00adcal and aes\u00adthe\u00adtic know\u00adledge at their dis\u00adpo\u00adsal. Some wes\u00adtern dan\u00adcers who visi\u00adted India have inven\u00adted inter\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adral styles in which they pre\u00adserve refe\u00adrences to Hin\u00addu phi\u00adlo\u00adso\u00adphy that they hold to be the \u2019essence\u2019 of Indian dance. They com\u00adbine the \u2019Indian\u00adness\u2019 of Indian dance with the \u2019Euro\u00adpean\u00adness\u2019 of modern dance. In my own view the essence of any dance is its artis\u00adtic dimen\u00adsion, not its claims to stress or deny cultu\u00adral boun\u00adde\u00adries. Spi\u00adri\u00adtua\u00adli\u00adty belongs to your inti\u00admate dai\u00adly life&nbsp;; it may also be a&nbsp;col\u00adlec\u00adtive year\u00adning for a&nbsp;bet\u00adter world, but cer\u00adtain\u00adly not the mat\u00adter of a&nbsp;show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today there is an increa\u00adsing dis\u00adsa\u00adtis\u00adfac\u00adtion among artists who were trai\u00adned in an imi\u00adta\u00adtive way. They reject a&nbsp;tra\u00addi\u00adtion in which they see an obs\u00adtruc\u00adtion to crea\u00adti\u00advi\u00adty. For ins\u00adtance they say it has become mea\u00adnin\u00adgless, in modern life, to enact Radha (Krishna\u2019s lover) stir\u00adring milk to make but\u00adter. Howe\u00adver, unless they have been given access to com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtio\u00adnal know\u00adledge they can only pick up ideas from the West. I&nbsp;thing this is hope\u00adless because wes\u00adtern contem\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adry dance is also, to a&nbsp;large extent, self-imitative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what to sug\u00adgest to dan\u00adcers pre\u00adser\u00adving or rejec\u00adting the Indian\u00adness of Indian dance&nbsp;? I&nbsp;do not look at the ges\u00adture of stir\u00adring milk in refe\u00adrence to the Kri\u00adsh\u00adna cult or vil\u00adlage life in India. It has a&nbsp;very deep phi\u00adlo\u00adso\u00adphi\u00adcal signi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion of which few dan\u00adcers are still aware&nbsp;: in Vedic mytho\u00adlo\u00adgy, stir\u00adring the ocean of milk yiel\u00added the Uni\u00adverse. The\u00adre\u00adfore Radha\u2019s ges\u00adture relates to an old intui\u00adtion of ener\u00adgy being \u2019twis\u00adted\u2019 to set our galaxy (the \u2019mil\u00adky way\u2019) into move\u00adment. In the cho\u00adreo\u00adgra\u00adphic work <em>Okea\u00adnos<\/em> I&nbsp;did not want to bor\u00adrow this ges\u00adture (and cultu\u00adral conno\u00adta\u00adtion) from Indian dance. There are intui\u00adtive asso\u00adcia\u00adtions of pri\u00admor\u00addial ener\u00adgy with long hair in wes\u00adtern mythi\u00adcal sto\u00adries. The\u00adre\u00adfore I&nbsp;felt that twis\u00adting my own hair would evoke the same myth in a&nbsp;more abs\u00adtract&nbsp;way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poe\u00adtic dis\u00adtan\u00adcing from lite\u00adral inter\u00adpre\u00adta\u00adtion of images is an impor\u00adtant aspect of my cho\u00adreo\u00adgra\u00adphic approach&nbsp;: dance as visual poe\u00adtry is not a&nbsp;com\u00adpi\u00adla\u00adtion of enco\u00added ges\u00adtures \u2019read\u2019 by edu\u00adca\u00adted spec\u00adta\u00adtors in a&nbsp;unique man\u00adner. Even though eve\u00adry nar\u00adra\u00adtive dance pos\u00adsesses a&nbsp;rich voca\u00adbu\u00adla\u00adry to por\u00adtray the moon, a&nbsp;poet-dan\u00adcer may pre\u00adfer to evoke the face of a&nbsp;per\u00adson sta\u00adring at the night sky. The art of sug\u00adges\u00adtive expres\u00adsion, which was culti\u00adva\u00adted by Kathak dan\u00adcers throu\u00adghout seve\u00adral cen\u00adtu\u00adries, is pro\u00adba\u00adbly the most ela\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adted spe\u00adci\u00adfic form of com\u00adpo\u00adsi\u00adtio\u00adnal know\u00adledge that India has to offer to wes\u00adtern dancers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other intercultural dances<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Butoh is an exemple of fusion dance which ori\u00adgi\u00adna\u00adted in the late 1960s as an inter\u00adac\u00adtion bet\u00adween Japa\u00adnese \u2019body tech\u00adniques\u2019 and wes\u00adtern ideas on modern aes\u00adthe\u00adtics. Ger\u00admaine Aco\u00adgny, in France, and Peter Bade\u00adjo in the UK have deve\u00adlo\u00adped suc\u00adcess\u00adful inter\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adral forms of modern Afri\u00adcan dance. Indian cho\u00adreo\u00adgra\u00adpher Astad Deboo who stu\u00addied Katha\u00adka\u00adli, Kathak and seve\u00adral wes\u00adtern dances (Mar\u00adtha Gra\u00adham, Jazz, Pina Bausch), is an ima\u00adgi\u00adna\u00adtive artist with a&nbsp;mul\u00adti-facet\u00adted style using an impres\u00adsive num\u00adber of know\u00adledge resources. These examples high\u00adlight the extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adna\u00adry diver\u00adsi\u00adty of approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my ARRC group (<em>Ate\u00adlier de Recherche Ryth\u00admique et Cho\u00adr\u00e9\u00adgra\u00adphique<\/em>) I&nbsp;trai\u00adned a&nbsp;num\u00adber of gif\u00adted young people, but for various rea\u00adsons (main\u00adly lack of finan\u00adcial sup\u00adport) they could not remain long. I&nbsp;feel very indeb\u00adted to Fabienne Brioudes, a&nbsp;tea\u00adcher of wes\u00adtern contem\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adry dance, and Oli\u00advier Rivoi\u00adrard who made the dream pos\u00adsible. Our col\u00adla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adtion on <em>Okea\u00adnos<\/em> was based on the same prin\u00adciple of non-imi\u00adta\u00adtion. We first tried to explore and deve\u00adlop com\u00admon per\u00adcep\u00adtions of music, move\u00adment and the theme of the per\u00adfor\u00admance. I&nbsp;paid much atten\u00adtion to the way they were construc\u00adting their own move\u00adments, direc\u00adting them pre\u00adci\u00adse\u00adly on stage loca\u00adtions, eye direc\u00adtions, and so on. I&nbsp;also sho\u00adwed them basic Kathak foot\u00adwork and Mouret\u2019s rhyth\u00admic sys\u00adtem. When it became clear that dan\u00adcers should be lif\u00adted, Fabienne taught us the basic por\u00adt\u00e9 tech\u00adniques in contem\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adry dance. So we lear\u00adned a&nbsp;great deal from each other and in the end we adap\u00adted these tech\u00adniques to dif\u00adferent sec\u00adtions of the&nbsp;piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that crea\u00adti\u00advi\u00adty is not a&nbsp;bliss\u00adful state of mind&nbsp;; it implies a&nbsp;per\u00adma\u00adnent struggle against the ste\u00adreo\u00adty\u00adped atti\u00adtudes often culti\u00adva\u00adted as \u2019recog\u00adni\u00adtion signs\u2019 by groups of dan\u00adcers, whe\u00adther they belong to tra\u00addi\u00adtio\u00adnal circles or the so-cal\u00adled avant-garde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limitations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike bilin\u00adguism, bicul\u00adtu\u00adra\u00adli\u00adty in dance does not make it easy to hop from one style to the next. Dance is not a&nbsp;lan\u00adguage, so each river you cross has its par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar foot\u00adpath. When I&nbsp;look at a&nbsp;Japa\u00adnese or Afri\u00adcan dance I&nbsp;may be able to map obser\u00adva\u00adtions with per\u00adso\u00adnal expe\u00adrience and expec\u00adta\u00adtions, which will make it enjoyable, but at the same time I&nbsp;am cer\u00adtain to miss signi\u00adfi\u00adcant fea\u00adtures (as I&nbsp;did 12&nbsp;years ago with like those fast move\u00adments in Kathak) because of my limi\u00adted know\u00adledge of the&nbsp;style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In loo\u00adking at the past we tend to gloss over hesi\u00adta\u00adtions, decep\u00adtions and dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adties\u2026 So I&nbsp;stress that my unders\u00adtan\u00adding of dance evol\u00adved consi\u00adde\u00adra\u00adbly through the dif\u00adfe\u00adrences bet\u00adween my tea\u00adchers, and a&nbsp;diver\u00adsi\u00adty of cultu\u00adral contexts.
