The Moving Space: Women In Dance
The Moving Space: Women In Dance - Paperback invites readers into the world of Indian dance to explore how women occupy, create, and negotiate space on stage and off.

Through an interdisciplinary mix of case studies, cultural contexts, and practical insights, The Moving Space makes learning engaging by connecting theory to lived experiences across temple spaces, courtyards, cinema, and modern performance venues.
