🪔 About
Dr. Deepa Mahadevan is an artist scholar. She is a Bharatanatyam practitioner, researcher, teacher, choreographer, and curator. Her doctoral research in Performance studies the history of aesthetics in Bharatanatyam, through the vectors of caste, class, sexuality, gender and religion, between the 1930s till 2020. The creative impetus for my research comes from my practice as a dancer, teacher and choreographer. My research interest drew from this dissonance and I set out to trace the history of aesthetics in Bharatanatyam. I propose that knowing this history and making it available to students and dancers and bringing an appreciation or acceptance for aesthetic diversity will augment equity and justice in the Bharatanatyam field.
