SOUTH ASIAN DANCE AND LGBTQ+ IDENTITIES

British South Asian dance has historically tended to be the domain of dominant caste, class privileged, able-bodied, heterosexual, Hindu, and cis-gender women of Indian heritage, and the three lead researchers are all positioned within each of these categories.

CalledSouth Asian Dance Equity (SADE): The Arts That British South Asian Dance Ignores, the project will examine five key areas:

  • the dominance of Indian/Hindu dance forms and artists
  • LGBTQI+ artists
  • caste-oppressed artists
  • disabled artists
  • and folk and Adivasi (indigenous) arts and artists

Working with five key South Asian arts organisations; , Baithak, Balbir Singh Dance Company, Nupur Arts, and Sampad, and The Place Theatre as project partners, the network aims to build a more equitable dance sector through exchanges between artists and scholars from South Asia and the 成人直播app.

SADE is an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded #DanceResearchMatters network grant project.

The project’s second webinar is co-curated with and and titled “South Asian Dance and LGBTQ+ Identities”. It will feature dance artists (UK); (India) (UK); (UK); and (The Netherlands) and their provocations on how their work unsettles the cisgenderism and heteronormativity that dominates British South Asian culture, including and especially dance.Their provocations will be followed by a Q&A with the attendees.

Register for the webinar on Monday 29 April at 3 pm on Zoom.
