2 Geography & Population More than 1.2 billion people live in India today, making it the second most populated country in the world. India is in South Asia and is a peninsula surrounded on three sides by the Indian Ocean. The biggest city in India is Mumbai. More than 18 million people live in Mumbai. India has 28 states. Before 1947, many of the states were governed by kings who gave up their thrones in order to join the new country of India. Currency about INDIA Indian money is called rupees. 1 rupee = 100 paise 70 rupees = $1 U.S. dollar Government & Economy India is a democracy. It is the biggest democracy in the world. The Prime Minister and Parliament are elected by the people. India has one of the fastest growing economies in the world, currently the 6th largest economy in the world. India s economy is diverse and includes agriculture, handicrafts, textiles, manufacturing, financial services, and software and high tech industries. India also has a booming movie industry. India makes more movies per year than Hollywood. Languages and Religions There are 15 major languages spoken in India and over 3,000 dialects. English and Hindi are the official languages of India. There are 7 major religions in India. 80% of people belong to the Hindu religion. 10% are Muslim, 5% are Sikh or Christian, and the rest are Buddhist, Jewish, Parsi, and several other religions. Culture & Dance Indian culture is more than 2,000 years old. The modern country of India was founded in 1947, when India gained independence from the British. India is a very diverse country. Each state has its own language, customs, traditional dress, ways of cooking, holidays, styles of music, and styles of dance. The oldest evidence of dance in the world is a 4,000 year-old bronze statue of a dancing girl discovered by archaeologists in the ruins of the ancient Indian city of Mohenjo-daro. Over the past several millennia, Indian culture has contributed several important ideas to the world. These include the number zero, the modern decimal system, the first buttons used in clothing, and the game of chess.
3 about RAGAMALA DANCE COMPANY Ragamala Dance Company was founded in 1992 by Ranee Ramaswamy. Now under the direction of Ranee and Aparna Ramaswamy (mother and daughter), the company is in its 26th season of creating intercultural, collaborative performance works. In this milestone year, long-time Ragamala soloist Ashwini Ramaswamy has joined her mother and sister in their intergenerational creative partnership. As first generation Indian-American artists, Ranee and Aparna s aesthetic is deeply influenced by their cultural hybridity. Thematically, they explore the myth and spirituality of their Indian heritage in order to engage with what they see as the dynamic tension between the historical, the ancestral, and the personal. They approach the South Indian dance form of Bharatanatyam as a living, breathing language with which to speak about the contemporary human experience. Described as soulful, imaginative and rhythmically contagious. (New York Times) and the standard bearer of a singularly successful kind of hybridity (Huffington Post), Ragamala s work has toured extensively, highlighted by the American Dance Festival, Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the Music Center of Los Angeles, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the International Festival of Arts & Ideas, University Musical Society at the University of Michigan, the Just Festival (Edinburgh, U.K.) the Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), Sri Krishna Gana Sabha (Chennai), and the National Centre for Performing Arts (Mumbai), among others. Ragamala showed how Indian forms can provide some of the most transcendent experiences that dance has to offer...this is an excellent company. The New York Times Photo by Grant Halverson
4 get to know the ARTISTS Ragamala Dance Company is a rare intergenarational partnership between a mother, Ranee Ramaswamy and her two daughters, Aparna and Ashwini Ramaswamy. In this excerpted interview, you will be introduced to the Ramaswamy family and their artistic partnership. Q: Can you talk a little bit about how the Ragamala Dance Company was founded? Ashwini: My mother, Ranee, founded Ragamala (which translates to garland of melodies ) in 1992, after having moved to the United States from India in Together with my sister, Aparna, she was singularly focused on introducing and educating audiences unfamiliar to Indian dance and showing them how dynamic, complex, yet universal Bharatanatyam could be. Over the past 26 years, the company has become known for thoughtful yet unexpected artistic partnerships that shed light on the cultural diversity that is the backbone of current human life. Q: What is it like working alongside your family, and how do you think that benefits the company? Ranee: My favorite thing to say to people is I get to take my children to work with me every day! I ve been saying that for years. I m extremely proud to have raised two daughters who work with me and are continuing something I started over thirty years ago. Q: How does your work help audiences gain a deeper understanding of other communities and cultures? Why do you think such understanding achieved through dance is so important now in our current political climate. Aparna: Ragamala s work is not overtly political, but when we bring together artists from different backgrounds and work with them to create a meaningful experience, the audience will come away with a feeling of awe, of empowerment. Each project we undertake takes several years to create. Nothing is done without constant dialogue, careful thought, research, and personal reflection. Then we can be absolutely sure that our voices are coming out through our work. Q: As performers, how do you collaborate your techniques and styles? Ashwini: As performers, we all come from the same teacher, and the same lineage, so our technique is very similar. However, you have to be your own dancer, and allow your personality to come alive onstage. So we practice to make sure our technique is superb, but we help each other enhance and preserve our own individuality. It is one of the things that make this career exciting! Q: What do you hope for the future of the company? Photos by Ed Bock Ranee: I truly believe in envisioning where you want to be and getting there. For the last twenty years, I have written down where I want to go in 5, 10, 15 years, and it has all come true. We are being presented in the top venues in this country. For the future we would like a stronger presence in Europe and South America, where the audiences are used to classical music, opera, and other more classically based art forms. There is not much more I would wish for, though if you told me 25 years ago that I would be where I am today, I would be thrilled!
5 about BHARATANATYAM Using movement, gesture, melody, and rhythm Bharatanatyam (pronounced BAH-rah-tah-NAHTyam), is India s oldest classical dance tradition. Bharatanatyam dates back more than 2,000 years to the Hindu temples of Tamil Nadu (in southeastern India), where dancers used music and movement to translate mythological themes and stories for the people. It is a living, breathing dance form that has evolved throughout the centuries. In the 1930s, Bharatanatyam moved out of the temples and became a concert dance form. Today, dancers and choreographers in India and around the world use Bharatanatyam in innovative ways to create their own work. The word Bharatanatyam comes from four words in Sanskrit (an ancient language from India): Bha (Bhava, which means expression), Ra (Raga, which means melody), Ta (Talam, which means rhythm), And Natyam, which means dance. It was traditionally a solo dance form, performed by women. Today, men and women perform Bharatanatyam, both in solo and ensemble productions. The two main aspects of Bharatanatyam are rhythmic dance and expressive dance. In rhythmic choreography known as nritta (NRITtah) dancers perform dynamic, often symmetric, movements with their entire bodies torso, head, legs, arms, hands, and feet while they use their bare feet to stamp out rhythms on the floor. Expressive dance known as abhinaya (AH-beenah-yah) is the physical expression of emotions and states of being. Dancers use hand gestures, facial expressions, and body movements to tell stories and convey emotions. Bharatanatyam technique is made up of a vocabulary of rhythms, postures, gestures, and movements, Photo by Grant Halverson which offer a beautiful language that can be used in creative ways. Just as a poet can use words to write his or her own poetry, a choreographer can use the Bharatanatyam vocabulary to create his or her own dances. The dance is accompanied by live music: a vocalist singing in an Indian language (usually Tamil, Telugu, or Sanskrit), a melodic instrument (usually a violin or flute), a two-headed drum called a mridangam (mruh-dahn-gahm), and a conductor, who uses small cymbals and vocal percussion to mirror and complement the rhythms of the dancers feet.
6 THE HASTAS about BHARATANATYAM...continued Hand gestures are very important in Bharatanatyam. They are called hastas or mudras. In pure dance, hand gestures are used to complement the body movements. In expressive dance, they are used like sign language to tell a story. There are 28 single-handed gestures and 24 double-handed gestures. Each one can mean many different things, depending on how it is held around the body, the way the dancer moves, and what facial expressions are used. Some important hand gestures are: Patakam can be used to show a group of people, the sky, a book, a sword, a door, or a mirror. Patakam Tirupatakam Tirupatakam can be used to show a crown, a temple, the branch of a tree, a mountain, sandals, or an alligator. Katakamukham can be used to show a woman, birds, or braiding hair. Katakamukham Katrimukham Katrimukham can by used to show eyes, tomorrow, confusion, evil, lightning, or a vine. Alapadmam can be used to show a flower, a glass, the moon, a mountain, beauty, joy, or love. Alapadmam Hamsasyam Hamsasyam can be used to show an elephant, time, plucking flowers, perfect, life, or putting on earrings. Simhamukham is used to show the face of an animal, for example a lion, a dog, or a deer. Shakatam is used to show a demon. Simhamukham Shikaram Dolam is used to show femininity and grace. Shikaram can be used to show a man, a bow, or hugging. Mayuram can be used to show a peacock or a feather. Mayuram
7 bharatanatyam COSTUMING COSTUME JEWELRY & ACCESSORIES A classical dance costume reflects the history and tradition of Tamil Nadu, the region where Bharatanatyam originated. The costume is made of colorful silk fabric containing borders embroidered with fine gold thread. There are two styles of Bharatanatyam costumes known as the pant-style costume (pant costume) and the saree costume (skirt costume). The pant-style costume consists of five parts: (1) Blouse: The top part of the costume with the sleeves. (2) Davani: The part that wraps around the blouse. (3) Pleats: The fan-like piece that is attached to both legs of the pants. (4) Seat: The part that hugs the pants and the fan at the hip area.

8 SACRED EARTH what you will see Photo by Ed Bock Through classical dance, ritual, and folk art forms from India, Sacred Earth celebrates the harmony between humans and nature. Sacred Earth is inspired by two folk visual art forms from India the dynamic folk paintings of the Warli people of western India, and the intricate kolam floor drawings done by women in southeastern India. Ragamala Dance uses the vibrant and expressive dance form of Bharatanatyam to bring the spirit of these folk art forms to life. Both Warlis and Kolams come from Indian traditions in which maintaining the balance between humans and nature is of central importance. This is an ancient vision that carries a timeless message for our modern world. Ragamala artists will guide students through the performance of Sacred Earth, including explanations of the dance form of Bharatanatyam, the traditions and art forms of kolam and Warli painting, and their relevance to the modern world. Students will also have the opportunity to see a demonstration of the creation of a Kolam, and a display of original art works by master Warli folk artist Anil Chaitya Vangad.
9 about KOLAM Photo by Bonnie Jean MacKay Each day before sunrise, in the region of Tamil Nadu in southeastern India, millions of women create kolams, pinching rice flour through their fingers to create intricate designs on the ground in front of the main entrance to their homes. These painted prayers are formed using a pattern of dots that are connected with lines or graceful curves to form elaborate patterns and designs. Kolams bring good luck, welcome guests, and bless those who enter and leave the house. Kolam is a living tradition, passed on from mother to daughter in Tamil Nadu to this day. As humans, we often take the earth for granted, taking many things from it every day. Kolams are a conscious act of giving back to the earth a little bit of what we have taken from it. Throughout the day, birds and insects eat the rice flour. The designs scatter as people walk over them, blessing and being blessed as they enter and exit the home. Erased by sunset, kolams remind us that things of beauty do not last forever. In modern India, cutting-edge technology and popular culture exist side-by-side with ancient traditions. Over the last half-century, as in many parts of the world, women in India have become more educated and more likely to work outside the home, leaving little time for old traditions like kolam. However, while more and more girls in Tamil Nadu today grow up without learning the art of kolam, one can still see kolams lining the roads not only in the small towns, but also in the major city of Chennai, the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu. It is not at all uncommon to step over a kolam while entering an internet cafe to check your ! Many communities have begun holding formal kolam competitions in order to keep this beautiful and meaningful tradition alive.
10 about WARLI PAINTING The Warlis are an indigenous tribal group from the forested areas of the state of Maharashtra, in western India. They are known as an adivasi community, which means first people. The speak their own, unwritten language (although many of them speak and read other Indian languages as well). Their beliefs, customs, and mythology are unique, unlike those of any other group in India. The Warli people respect the land and believe in the importance of harmony between humans and nature. To this day, the Warli communities living in small, isolated villages in the forests of Maharashtra strive to live according to the traditional practices of their ancestors to strike a balance between their traditional values and modern India. For over 4,000 years, the Warlis have painted on the mud walls of their homes as a form of celebration and blessing during important rituals such as marriages and harvests. These folk paintings, done in rice paste using a brush made of the frayed end of a stick, use a simple pictorial language made up of shapes and lines to show strong images and dynamic scenes such as a harvest, a spiraling folk dance, a wedding, or the tree of life. These paintings celebrate the Warlis life lived in harmony with nature. Until the 1970s, very few people knew about Warli folk painting. Even in India, this art form was known only in the isolated Warli villages. To this day, very few people in the United States know about Warli painting, and there have been only a handful of exhibits in this country. In the 1970s, as collectors and critics in the Indian art world began to notice the Warli artists, the artists began creating their paintings on canvas rather than on walls in order to allow the paintings to be moved outside their villages. These artists began to expand their art beyond the villages, and to use this rich art form to express their individual creativity. Painting by Anil Chaitya Vangad
11 about ANIL CHAITYA VANGAD Anil Chaitya Vangad is a traditional painter of the indigenous Warli craft. Warli painting has been in his family for three generations. Since 1991, his work has been exhibited throughout India, highlighted by the Mumbai Festival (Mumbai), Government Craft Museum (New Delhi), Sarojini Naidu Hall (Hyderabad), Swobhumi Craft Mela (Calcutta), Shivaji Nagar Hall (Pune), Gandhi Shilp Bazar (Mysore), Neerja Modi Visual and Performing Art Center (Jaipur), Gramotsav, (New Delhi), and Mahalaxmi Saras (Mumbai). He has been commissioned to create murals for the Bank of Muskat (Bangalore), the home of the Chairman of the Bhoruka Corporation (Bangalore), and Dumdum Park (Kolkata), to name a few. He has led workshops at the International School of Bangalore and the National Traditional and Folk Artist Camp in Jaipur. Anil lives in the small, isolated village of Ganjad, in the forested areas of Maharashtra, India. Ganjad is located only 90 miles north of the bustling, 18 million-person metropolis of Mumbai (Bombay), yet Ganjad is accessible only by dirt roads. Anil lives in a traditional family compound and follows the ancient customs of his ancestors. He and his family observe holidays and traditions that do not exist elsewhere in India. Their home does not have running water, and they only use the gas stove when they have guests. However, Anil has access to and is able to take digital photos of his artwork, which he can post online to be seen by people all over the world. Anil s life and his work are a clear example of the way in which the traditional and the modern exist side-by-side in India.
12 ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES Can you be a mountain, or a bird, or a tree? Try to make up your own hand gestures for the things you find in nature: a mountain, a tree, a flower, a river, the sun, the rain, a bird, a snake, or a deer. What other parts of your body do you need to use to make people believe that your hands can turn into all of these things? (You may need to use your eyes and face to express the feeling of the thing, or move your body into different positions, or use your arms to move the gestures around your body.) Now try to think of your own ideas of what you would like to show without words. Can you show nine different emotions without using words or sounds? In Indian dance, we have nine basic emotions: joy, sadness, anger, love, humor, disgust, bravery, fear, and peace. How would you use your face and body to show each of these emotions? Can you tell a story without words, using only your hands, your eyes, your face, and the movements of your body? Choose a fairy tale, or a story that everyone in your class would know, and see if you can act it out without using any words. How many ways can you make sounds with your feet? In Bharatanatyam, we use different parts of our feet to make different sounds. Play a CD of music, and see how many different sounds you can make by hitting your feet on the floor. How did the dance and music make you feel? Write a journal entry about how the dance and music made you feel. Share and compare what you felt with your classmates. Consider how you would describe Bharatanatyam to a friend who has not seen it. How is Bharatanatyam different? There are five distinct styles of Indian classical dance Bharatanatyam, Odissi, Kathakali, Manipuri, and Kathak. You have learned about Bharatanatyam; now explore the other four forms. Look up information in the library and on the internet, and try to find clips on YouTube. How are they different from one another? And how does Bharatanatyam compare to other styles of dance that you have studied or seen?
