The Menaka-Archive traces the performances of Indian dancer and choreographer Leila Roy-Sokhey aka \u201eMadame Menaka\u201c and her Indian Ballett in Europe from 1936 to 1938. Leila Roy-Sokhey (1899-1947), a pioneer of modern dance and a proponent of the preservation of classical Indian performance heritage, went on a three year tour to Europe from 1936 to 1938. She was among the first artists from India to present their work to a wide audience in Europe. The Menaka Archive collects documents of her performances and reconstructs the contours of dance-modernism between India and Europe.<\/p>\n

The Menaka Archive is an association of several research projects, exploring the performances of Indian choreographer and dancer Leila Roy-Sokhey alias “Menaka” with her “Indian Ballet” in Germany and Europe from 1936-38. As part of the Menaka project, archival materials, their collection process, as well as artistic elaborations, are correlated and made accessible as linked open data ressources.<\/p>\n

So far, neither a Menaka archive nor a private estate existed. Leila Roy-Sokhey died childless in 1947 – the year of India\u2019s independence and partition. Menaka’s contribution to a dance-like modernity, that was interwoven between Asia and Europe, was therefore largely forgotten and is only recently being rediscovered in Indian dance research. From today’s perspective, Menaka’s tour in Europe therefore represents an archive in it\u2019s own right. It documents materials and structures that complete the picture of an internationally intertwined dance modernity. Nevertheless, the traces of Menaka’s tour in Europe are fragmented. The fragmentation and incompleteness of the material situation makes the historiographic reconstruction of Menaka’s project the subject of critical archive work.<\/p>\n

The Menaka Archive sees itself as a collaborative platform for researching and reconstructing a specific history of artistic modernity, written jointly by dancers and musicians in India as well as in Germany. The aim of the archive is to find and secure previously unknown original sources, as well as to register and arrange the already archived tracks and documents of performances.
\nThe digital database provides a foundation to contour the Indian artists performances as a subject of research.
\nIt offers a platform to collect and present heterogeneous material such as newspaper articles, music and film recordings, concert recordings and interviews. In addition, The Menaka Archive curates its holdings using different approaches of visual storytelling. Thus The Menaka Archive also reveals its production logic, gaps and it\u2019s special archival aesthetics.<\/p>\n

Weiterhin werden diejenigen Aspekte herausgearbeitet, die sich einf\u00fcgen in den Kontext Indiens als Projektionsfl\u00e4che spiritueller Ursprungssuche einerseits und das Transformationspotential ekstatischer Erfahrung in der Kunst andererseits. Auf dieser Grundlage soll eine Einordnung in die religi\u00f6sen Erneuerungsbewegungen dieser Zeit mit ihren politischen und weltanschaulichen Implikationen unternommen werden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While working in the ethnological museum of Rotterdam, she became interested in the representation of non-European people in the nineteenth century. Within this broad subject she attempts to concentrate on human exhibitions, a subject that has received wide attention in Germany, France and Great Britain. For this purpose she tries to locate photographs, advertisments and newspaper reports in (mainly digital) archives.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"uberschrift","uberschrift":"Archive
