Abstract

Hybridization of Classical Indian Dance Kathak in the Context of South Asian Diaspora in Britain

The article aims to depict the nature and factors of Indian dance hybridity in diaspora in relation to the phenomena of post-colonialism and globalization. On the basis of source materials collected during fieldwork (interviews, participant observation, archive research), conducted among kathak dance communities in London and Birmingham in 2015. The paper discusses the changing functions and meanings ascribed to Indian dance outside India, new trends in its development and the motivations of artists, linked to the demands of cultural policy in Britain. The condition of cultural practice of kathak in England is compared to the situation in India, pointing to the continuous influx of Western ideas and strategies to the community of artists based in India. Hybridity in Indian dance is analyzed as a consequence of colonial ‘mimicry’ and its present ‘reincarnations’ in the globalized market of culture.
