About the Author
HARI KRISHNAN is associate professor of dance at Wesleyan University. His research interests span a range of topics, including queer subjectivities in South Asian and global dance performance, colonialism, post-colonialism and Indian dance, and the history of devadasi (courtesan) dance traditions in South India. He is also the artistic director of Toronto-based dance company inDANCE, and as an award winning dance-maker, is commissioned internationally for his bold and transgressive choreography.
Endorsements
"This beautifully crafted, path-breaking book situates south Indian 'classical' dance in the genealogies of modernity. Krishnan's argument—that Bharatanayam emerged in symbiosis with a cinema permeated by dance and its hereditary practitioners—is simply compelling."—Indira Peterson, Mount Holyoke College
"A striking achievement, Celluloid Classicism deepens and broadens conventional histories of South Indian performance. Meticulously researched and conceptually rich, Krishnan's work illustrates the aesthetic debt modern bharata natyam owes to South Indian cinema while also demonstrating cinema's reliance on local dance and theatre traditions."—Janet O'Shea, author of At Home in the World: Bharata Natyam on the Global Stage
