'The reliefs and murals of temples in mainland Southeast Asia, such as the famous Angkor Wat complex in Cambodia, the temples of the city of Pagan in Myanmar, and the royal temple, Wat Phra Keo, in Bangkok, include thousands of figures related to dance in their iconographic programmes. Many of them give valuable information about dance from periods of which very little, if any, textual evidence exists to throw light on this subject. This study seeks to analyse these dance images by applying and expanding the dance iconographical method formulated in the 1990s. The undeniable Indian influence on the traditions of dance and image-making in Southeast Asia will be discussed, while the focus will be on the localisation process of the Indian influenced prototypes in Southeast Asia.' etc. Illustrated. 284 pages.
