Abstract
In the scholarly world where disembodied language and intellectualism reign, Kaustavi Sarkar, a dancing archive, performs embodied epistemologies. Even in her native Odissi dance discipline, Sarkar works from the margin as a questioner and an experimenter in a codified practice that values obedience and tradition. It is from this periphery that Sarkar develops a unique ethos of traditional dance that turns the conservatism of classical forms to open-layered intracultural and intercultural dance dialogues through dance.
