ABSTRACT

The Post Natyam Collective is a transnational, web-based coalition of women dance artists who critically and creatively engage in South Asian dance. Our members include Sandra Chatterjee (Munich/Salzburg/New Delhi), Shyamala Moorty (Los Angeles), Cynthia Ling Lee (Los Angeles/Greensboro) and Anjali Tata (Kansas City). 1 Founded in 2004, the Post Natyam Collective largely shifted to virtual, web-based collaboration in 2008. Unique to our networked nature, we use collaborative processes online to produce innovative dance and media work that rigorously tackles South Asian traditions and theory, creating feminist-of-colour, 2 postcolonial, border-crossing artistic works shared with audiences on the web, in theatres, in universities and with communities.
