Section Title:
YOGA, ART & THE HINDU TEMPLE
Section Info:
This seminar is a journey into the body disciplines of ancient India- yoga, dance, theatre- and their relationship with the Hindu temple. During the course, we will make use of textual, epigraphical and visual materials to investigate the role of the ancient Hindu temple as the space where these disciplines were performed and also represented in the temple sculptures. We will explore the theoretical foundations behind the “moving body” of yoga and dance with a special focus on the concepts of āsana, mudrā, nāṭya, abhinaya and rasa and we will discuss the form and the function of their representations in the temple sculptures. The seminar will feature a wide range of visual material. A series of guest speakers will contribute to the teaching. Will be taught by Dr. Anna Tosato
