Introduction


You are being invited to participate in a research study titled “Experiencing Indian Classical Dance.” The purpose of this study is to understand how spectators experience the Indian Classical Dance form called Bharatanatyam. If you agree to take part in this study, you will be asked to watch four one-minute clips of Indian dance performances and answer online questions. We will ask about your mood over the last two weeks, religious background, knowledge of Indian dance forms (such as Bharatanatyam), and your experience while watching the dance performances. The study will take you approximately 25 minutes to complete. For two of the dance pieces, you will receive background information. For the other two dance pieces, you won't receive information. You will just see the dance.
