Lecture 'On Natyashastra and embedded performative practices' @UniArts, Helsinki

Taking the Natyashastra as the point of departure, the lecture delves into two performative practices of northern India - Ramnagar ki Ramleela and Tawaif’s artistry - which are embedded and intermeshed in the histories, geographies and the religions of the land and thus embodied (consciously/subconsciously) in its people.
