Dancing Shadows of Bali: Theatre and Myth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780415865258)

First published in 1987. This book began in Bali during 1970-72, during the author's Ph.D. research on the shadow theatre for the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. However, two subsequent trips to Bali in 1980 and 1984, when I studied other forms of dance-drama and ritual, greatly contributed to the work. The shadow theatre in Bali is described and its place in the society and culture explored. It is so called, as during the night performance puppets cast vibrant shadows against a white cotton screen which is illuminated by a flickering coconut-oil lamp.
