FULBRIGHT RESEARCH
In 2006, Aparna Keshaviah was awarded a U.S. Fulbright Grant in Dance to India to undertake a study entitled "Decoding the Modern Practice of Bharatanatyam," which:
- Produced an unprecedented statistical
analysis of Bharatanatyam
- Describes the diversity of practice and
interpretation of "tradition"
- Maps the propagation of the dance
across the globe
- Reveals disturbing trends that could
undermine the form's future success
