This project explores concepts of tradition and change within South Asian Dance practices of the present. The project links such inquiries into form with broader concerns of postcolonial identity formation. The project relies upon the expertise of British-based and international South Asian artists in residence, domestic and international research fellows, as well as the projects primary researchers. The project investigates such concerns through practice-based inquiries such as choreographic research and development, performances, and workshops as well as through more traditional scholarly formats.
