Ranjabati: A Dancer and Her World
Selected Writings of Ranjabati Sircar
Aishika Chakraborty, dancer and dance scholar herself, brings together a comprehensive selection of the dance writings of Ranjabati Sircar (1963-99)—essays, seminar papers, interviews, reviews, production notes—illustrating a highly critical and percipient mind discovering and articulating fresh possibilities in the new Indian dance; and critiquing a wide range of international performances from an original point of view; with photographs by Avinash Pasricha, Dayanita Singh and Ray Clark, showing the extremely talented dancer-choreographer in performance. Chakraborty's long introduction offers a penetrating study of Ranjabati, who committed suicide at the age of 36, right in the midst of an intense phase of choreographic activity.
