The Problematic<br />
Danseuse<br />
Nirmala Seshadri<br />
Nirmala Seshadri’s work, The Problematic Danseuse, was presented with Pok! by<br />
Soultari Amin Farid in Failing the Dance: A Double Bill of Lecture-Performances. In<br />
The Problematic Danseuse, Nirmala revisits embodied memories of marginalisation and<br />
censorship, plagued by hegemonic and patriarchal issues, which have accumulated over<br />
nearly 50 years of training in and performing bharatanatyam. Like Amin’s article, this<br />
piece accompanied Nirmala’s presentation, which contains reflections and thoughts collected<br />
during their collaborative research process under their Associate Membership<br />
with Dance Nucleus.
