Spring issue 2003 - Dance And Technology |
| From Editorial |
In this issue, young south asian performers who have embraced technology tell us why: better monetary and booking prospects as well as the sheer novelty of working differently. Also explaining why not is Akram Khan, whose hit-of-the- season, Ronin - a contemporary presentation of classical kathak - did not feature technology...
The big T has long way to go to do bigger thing for south asian dance. But one day, our audiences might be in their own holodecks and we can virtually dance for them in the real spaces of our minds!
Dance it, tell it, tech it, talk it... Keep your finger on the pulse of south asian dance in Britain.
