Okay but the Natyasastra is literally the most iconic thing I have ever read. My favorite part is when it says that whenever anything good happens, the audience should yell, “Good!”
In my state Kerala, there is a form of Sanskrit theatre named Koodiyattam. This theatre has withstood the test of time and has been played for over 2000 years now. :)
Durvasa rishi was a very convenient plot device in many Sanskrit stories, dispensing curses wherever needed, he was famously depicted as very ill tempered and angry
9:04 My Grandma used to tell me about this play all the time when I was a kid. But then I'd forgot all about it though, until now. Seeing you talk about the play evoked those memories again, thanks crashcourse.
lily Me! Me! Me! Tho the channel Art Assigment, also by PBS, is fantastic for understanding contemporary western and occasionally outside-West art. I love it so damn much.
We Indians have a tendency to come up with these incredibly long, detailed, structured and highly specific treatises. The Natyashastra gets into the minutiae of theater. The Arthashastra (sorta the Indian equivalent of The Prince by Machiavelli and The Art of War by Sun Tzu - combined!) gets into the minutiae of ruling and administration. Etc. It makes for pretty dry reading, tbh, but you'll always be impressed by the sheer magnitude of the work (even if you don't feel like actually reading it). They're basically very comprehensive manuals - albeit poetically written - and, well, as any techie would know, people generally don't like reading manuals. Ah well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
"The recognition of Shakuntala" This is the first time I've heard a translation of the name Abhijnanashakuntala lol Also, Durvasa is a sage not a poet.
I was drinking coffee and no kidding I chocked a little on hearing him pronounce that :P Reminded me of all the mythology episodes he did and how he pounces the Indian Gods and Goddess lol
Thank you so much for doing this course! I took theatre history all through my undergrad, but my prof was very euro-centric. We basically studied Greek theatre, then moved up through Rome, and then jumped forward to England. With no mention of any other continent at all. So thank you. I had no idea where to even start looking for theatre history from other parts of the world.
4:44 When you translate Sanskrit to English, you might want to keep the original Sanskrit word(s) in brackets that follow the translated word(s). People who don't want to read them, won't read anyway, but what about the rest of us? Thank you for compiling information for us though :)
The detailed instructions for movements in the Natyasastra reminds me of Kathakali. Can anyone confirm if the movements in the Natyasastra are the "dance moves" used in Kathakali, or if there's some other relation?
Elijah Mikhail the Natyasastra is actually the basis for several classical forms of dance including Kathakali as well as Odissi, Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, Mohiniatam and more. A lot of principle theories such as nritta (pure dance), nritya (expressions), as well as hastas/mudras (hand gestures) are shared between the dances however there are of course variations between each style and type of dance
It is. Many other dance forms are derived from Natyasatra. Many dance forms mentioned above have been originated in different states in India which have different cultures. So the basis are same(natyasastra) but a huge overhaul is done according to the culture of the state, just like how Kathakali is from the state of Kerala.
@@CrazyFictions Natyasastra is written based on the cultures of different states and not the other way around. Sanskrit guys always steal from native culture and patent it in their own language.
If possible, could you guys cover traditional Chinese drama? It might be more difficult since the Cultural Revolutions, but the few snippets I’ve heard of traditional Chinese theater and opera sound fascinating.
Hoàng Kim Việt here in this video he's talking about lots of gods. Well anyone can Create his/her own god and strike for better life but in core its all about being atheist and agnostic.
@@rubbish9231 ? I would appreciate not commenting on my culture when you lack basic knowledge about our spiritual traditions. God I hate people with no context of what there taking about spewing selfish nonsense.
Yes, it does. Also third gender. However, just in case you're thinking it, don't mistake that to mean that it plays into the modern empowerment narrative. They simply had a place, as everyone else did i.e. you weren't 'free' to do you wished as a female (or other) person - you simply had another set of social expectations attached to you (as opposed to the alternative of outright banning or ostracisation). They played certain roles, as did the men.
Mendicant Bias oh trust me, I didn’t blink towards equality. Just glad that actresses were a thing and amused that Europe seems to always be last to the party in certain historical trends. (Loads of sarcasm, don’t yell at me)
Interesting fact The regional name of India "Bharata" is named after the son the king finds in the end of the play And all the characters in both the Indian epics are direct/indirect descendants of him
I think its more that, as he said, we don't know a lot about the evolution of Indian theater. In addition, they have some time constraints, and Greco-Roman theater has had a bigger influence on theater outside of India. Also, we can look forward to them covering Japanese theater!
+Alan Grimm He says right at the beginning, "We could devote several episodes to classical Indian theater". And when you say Greco-Roman theater has had a bigger influence on theater "outside of India", you mean a bigger influence on the West. Be specific. But I get it, CrashCourse is after all based in the US, its natural that they would focus mostly on Western culture.
Why are there many videos in the series not on the play list? The Noh theater, the ones about Shakespeare, not on the play list. There are only 10 on the play list. You might want to look into this.
Because Indians in India hardly care about Indian traditions and culture. Few today think of knowing about, let alone reviving, the traditional theater and dramatics of India. Sad but true.
I'M from Italy , and I'm fed-up of Plato , Cicerone and other classical charters of western culture . I think that understand how other culture evolved and created things that i never heard before like : Arthaśāstra and other things is much more valuable than learning mnemonically twohundred pages of Plato . PS: Machiavelli is a joke respect Arthaśāstra , but here people still thinks that Machiavelli wrote the only book about Political-science but they igniore beautiful manuscript like the Arthaśāstra .
Fun Fact: In the recent Marvel Movie Black Panther's rival M'Baku and his renegade Jabari tribe pray and worship Hanuman. In a scene in the film, M'Baku hails his God, saying, "Glory to Hanuman!". Another example how eastern ideas inspire the west in subtle ways 🙂
You did two episodes on Roman Theatre, why not two on Sanskrit? You also highlighted Plautus over Terrance's work because it was mirrored by Shakespeare. You also did this directly after you said Terrance's was arguably more sophisticated. Do your see the eurocentrism in these actions? It's like you're tokenizing non-Western theatre. Why?
Content is thoroughly covered and well-summarized for its ten-something minutes but I'd ask Crash Course to look up the IPA or equivalent because this is full of mispronunciations.
Nitish Anand Just say it clear don't Pronounce wrong word like them , Its "Ras" and U have learned Types of Ras (actually every Indian student learnt)😃
I do like the information and how deep it is but I don't like the tone you use for some phrases.. it could feel a little like mocking ... please be a little bit more respectful.
It's the usual with Crash Course. I know Hanuman and Rama et al. are deities but the almost-mocking tone is typical with their creative team. And the mispronunciations -_- That's actually the worst bit.
This is really fascinating stuff, and I realize this is a 'best of' kind of look at the topic.....but I think I prefer Greek/Roman theatre. Call me old fashion :P
It's not about old or new but rather a choice or taste. Greco-Roman theater is what it is and Sanskrit theater is what it is. They're vastly different and I personally think you can't compare the two.
Bollywood is practically NOTHING like Ancient Sanskrit Drama. Ancient Sanskrit Drama was legendary. Bollywood of the last 20 years is, for the most part, garbage.
@ Darren David Koolman Having said that bollywood is mostly garbage nowadays, I believe you MUST check out incredible films like Taare Zameen Par, Dangal etc. Start with Taare Zameen Par (2007). It is available on Netflix and is titled 'Like Stars on Earth' ...
+Altair It's just amusing, like a German trying to say "Squirrel" - you don't have to get offended. Also, you don't have to speak a language to know how a given word is pronounced - It's not like I know sanskrit, but I know how to pronounce "Ramayana".
Erudito otidurE "get offended"? lol you are the one who was butthurt not me." also you dont have to speak a language to know how a given word is pronounced" seriously? Thats just stupid .You clearly need to speak the language or know the language to pronounce it right sometime you might get lucky pronouncing but most of the time you dont unless you speak the language . I'll give few words from different language and im pretty sure you would fail 100% to pronounce it right.stop embarrassing yourself with these dumb arguments.
+Altair I made a comment poking fun at Mike's poor pronunciation, I don't see how that makes me "butthurt", and you can learn the pronunciation of a single word without knowing how to speak the language it comes from. Once again, I don't speak sanskrit, but I know how to pronounce Ramayana, not because I've guessed, but because I've learned how to pronounce it. It doesn't upset or offend me that Mike can't pronounce it, I find it amusing. You've just taken a lighthearted comment way too seriously.

Ah yes. Though, frankly, that one's so famous that it really doesn't even need mentioning.
Mendicant Bias you do such a great job of undermining all Indian tradition while seeming to say good things about it! Nice!
Puneri Teeka I really do not think that was either the intention or the result.
Rasa means taste in thai language. We pronounce it as rôs
I'm Thai and we have sanskrit in our native language
rasa means taste in Sanskrit too
Also true in Thai that was adopt Sanskrit for long times
Sanskrit is an influence on SE Asian languages.
Ras (Rasa) means interest or Juice in Marathi. Great to know abouts the Thai culture.
It's rôsô in Sanskrit
"The recognition of Shakuntala"

yes. I hope durvasa doesn't give a curse for this to the nice guy who's presenting :D
@@sidjindal I don't think Durvasa watches RUclips. I wonder what kind of curse would he give though.
As soon as I seen Sanskrit I had to watch this more than five times
tragoedia veritas :D
As anybody who's ever seen a Bollywood drama can attest, some things in Indian culture never change.
lets not forget Bollywood films lmao
Keith Gaughan 100% true
exactly! it all makes sense now haha
Our commitment to happy endings for sure seems to have stemmed from here.
This is why so many Bollywood movies have signing and dancing..aaah!!
They had so good ideas way back then!!

The first thing comes to my mind upon seeing the title is Kecak Dance.
I'M from Italy , and I'm fed-up of Plato , Cicerone and other classical charters of western culture .

There is Dharmashastra Nitishastra Arthashastra Natyashastra and the very famous Kamashastra
I found this episode reasonably sound it channeled ideas quite well.
I wonder if the very precise movements of Bollywood dancers are descended from the Natyashastra's elaborate movement instructions?
Indian classical dances definitely follow those. Bollywood derives influences from various sources, it may or may not be the case.

Are you going to do European Medieval Theater next, or Persian, Korean, or Japanese theater?
Weird comment but I really like Mike's shirt, anyone know where he got it?
That's just a blue shirt...? lol
i mean, a tailored savile row suit is still "just a suit" you know?
That has an Indian touch. Especially the fabric like a raw cotton what we call hand made khadi fabric
Wow sanskrit theatre was pretty democratic!
right spyder sanskrit theatre even employed transgenders and eunuchs.
Being an indian i am pretty sure that 50% people in our country dont know anything about sanskrit theatre (50%=700M people)
