Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 10: A New Chapter Years passed, and Maya's journey continued. The initial media frenzy subsided, but her impact on the world of art and social activism remained profound. Kathakali, once a niche art form, gained wider recognition, its potential to convey powerful messages resonating with a new generation. Maya, no longer consumed by the shadows of her past, embraced her role as a mentor and advocate. She established an academy, a space where aspiring dancers could hone their craft while learning to use their art as a tool for social change. Her students, inspired by her story, explored themes of social justice and empowerment in their performances. Stories of environmental degradation, gender inequality, and the plight of marginalized communities were woven into the intricate tapestry of Kathakali dance. One evening, as Maya watched her students perform, a sense of deep satisfaction washed over her. The stage, once a battlefield for personal vengeance, had become a platform for collective expression. The seeds of change, sown with her initial act of defiance, had blossomed into a vibrant movement. Among the performers was a young woman, her eyes filled with determination as she portrayed a story of overcoming oppression. Maya recognized a flicker of her own fire in the young woman's spirit, a reflection of the countless others she had inspired. As the final notes of the performance faded, a wave of applause washed over the audience. Maya knew then that her journey was far from over. The fight for justice, though ever-evolving, would continue. But she also knew that the legacy she had created, the voices she had empowered, would carry the torch forward. The Kathakali dancer, once a symbol of personal vengeance, had become a beacon of hope. Her story, etched in the hearts of countless individuals, served as a testament to the transformative power of art, a reminder that even the most vulnerable voices could rise and demand change. And as the curtain closed on her own chapter, Maya knew that the fight for a just world would continue, one captivating performance at a time.

In the midst of a private party hosted by a media mogul in Coorg, murder strikes, sending shockwaves through its influential guests. When Inspector Dhruvi Kishore arrives at the scene, she finds, to her consternation, that some of her suspects ? prominent politicians, businessmen, a blackmailer and a purveyor of fake news ? have fled.

Revealing a world where ethics are scarce and lucre is abundant, Conspirator weaves a thrilling tale about how the people who uncover others? secrets often have the most to hide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of Best Performance Design and Scenography Publication Award, Prague Quadrennial 2019 This beautifully illustrated book conveys the centrality of costume to live performance. Finding associations between contemporary practices and historical manifestations, costume is explored in six thematic chapters, examining the transformative ritual of costuming; choruses as reflective of society; the grotesque, transgressive costume; the female sublime as emancipation; costume as sculptural art in motion; and the here-and-now as history. Viewing the material costume as a crucial aspect in the preparation, presentation and reception of live performance, the book brings together costumed performances through history. These range from ancient Greece to modern experimental productions, from medieval theatre to modernist dance, from the 'fashion plays' to contemporary Shakespeare, marking developments in both culture and performance. Revealing the relationship between dress, the body and human existence, and acknowledging a global as well as an Anglo and Eurocentric perspective, this book shows costume's ability to cross both geographical and disciplinary borders. Through it, we come to question the extent to which the material costume actually co-authors the performance itself, speaking of embodied histories, states of being and never-before imagined futures, which come to life in the temporary space of the performance.

Book excerpt: The Taste of British South Asian Theatres: Aesthetics and Production offers critical analysis of eight British Asian performances, using an east-west approach of references and theories, the latter including the Rasa theory of the Natyashastra, Brecht's Gestus and semiotics, making a striking contribution to the understanding of one of the most outstanding examples of diasporic artistic activity in recent history. With illustrations, the productions discussed are The Marriage of Figaro (Tara Arts), Curry Tales (Rasa Productions), Mr Quiver: intimate (Rajni Shah), Rafta, Rafta...(National Theatre), Nowhere to Belong: Tales of an Extravagant Stranger (RSC/Tara Arts), A Fine Balance (Tamasha), Deadeye (Kali Theatre) and the Gujarati play Lottery Lottery (Shivam Theatre). "In the search for new models of criticism, Patel's study of eight performances has advanced a subtle recipe that provides a new resource for diaspora studies." -Graham Ley Emeritus Professor of Drama & Theory, University of Exeter
