that wasn’t a ‘reductionist’ approach to tamasha at all. after all it’s just a few dance teams who put too much of their time, intellect, and energy into choreography that’s created in a total vacuum. all of us who perform at zamanas show don’t know what ‘real’ south asian culture is, because culture is this fixed, unchanging thing that cannot possibly be realized without there being some vague ‘cultural dialogue’.

You obviously don’t know anything about Zamana and are talking out of your ass. The entire rest of the year Zamana hosts forums, panels, screenings and service activities. Nice try.

if your idea of south asian culture are various forms of dances, perhaps a few instrumental music pieces, then some diasporic rapper/comedian/etc, followed by a massive after party – then hooray for this interpretation of culture

how about creating a cultural dialogue rather than a reductionist interpretation…

i’m calling it already: Zamana wins the culture show battle of 2008-2009.

we all know that the real point of these culture shows isn’t to showcase your culture: its to show that your culture can put on a bigger show than everyone else’s.

all Zamana does is throw parties, often off-campus, and dances. I don’t want to subsidize your ethno-centric social life.

…except that the Jews got 10x more money, and the scottish/italian/greek student clubs don’t put on events that draw crowds of nearly 1k paying audience members.

Ethnic group says they are cheap. My Scottish grandparents say it, my girlfriends Jewish family says it, Indians say it, Italians say it, Greeks say it. So, nobody or everybody is cheap when you actually get down to it.

but hey, you’d be surprised what a few indians can do even with a small budget if they’ve got a vision ;)

Club Zamana and other culture organizations are poorer than community impact, even though they encompass more members. Your service clubs obviously just aren’t as good at grant applications.
