A 7 - day explorative experience of movement and expression culminating into a performance piece that re-imagines Devdas by Sarat Chandra! 

This edition is tailor made for theater practitioners and actors who seek to engage with storytelling through embodiment. 


During this 7-day intensive, we will experiment with certain handpicked scenes, lines, characters, spaces, and contexts which will be explored through movement tasks, phrase work, somatics sessions and improvisations.


The idea is to reimagine a popular text into a live performance and engage with it through physical language while exploring and even questioning its relevance within the current politics. 


How can we reimagine a character from the lens of the body? How does the performer's relationship with the space and objects tell a story? How can we move from text to choreography? 


Eventually attempting to decipher through this process what does performance mean to us individually? Why do we perform and for whom?
