Through discussion of a dazzling array of artists in India and the diaspora, this book delineates a new language of dance on the global stage. Myriad movement vocabularies intersect the dancers' creative landscape, while cutting-edge creative choreography parodies gender and cultural stereotypes, and represents social issues.

Is it possible to simultaneously belong to and be exiled from a community?

She reveals common political and feminist alliances across geographic boundaries.
