- Description
- An analysis of the representation of traditional Indian folk dance forms in the song and dance sequences of contemporary Bollywood cinema and how these Intangible Cultural Heritage dance forms (e.g. Purulia Chhau and Bhangra) are radically altered and hybridized in the process of cinematic representation, a transformation that has often had a detrimental impact upon their contemporary performance.
