Dance Project “fragments” // Post-performance Academic Discussion „Embodied Departures in Kathak: Diaspora, Identity, and the Performative Body “
“fragments” is a postdoctoral research-performance project that investigates the shifting terrain of diasporic identity through the embodied lens of evolving practices of Kathak dance. It emerges from ethnographic material collected during the recent fieldwork in the UK, Australia and South Africa, as part of the postdoctoral project „Shifting Identities and Changing Artistic Representations: Transformations of the Kathak Dance Tradition in South Asia and Diasporic Spaces “. The project is further informed by earlier research (2017–2020) among Kathak communities in central northern India and my own experiences as Kathak practitioner.
