Participant at Theater Mitu's South India Artist Intensive

June 2019 - June 2019 Bangalore, Karnataka
“I liked the fact that research was conducted on several different levels. I was involved in academic, dramaturgical, and aesthetic research. In addition, reflection and research were closely interwoven with artistic practice. I engaged in physical training on a daily bases in various South Inidan art forms and techniques such as Kalaripayattu, Mohiniattam, Kathakali, and Yakshagana. I had panel discussions and participated in seminars with local Inidan artists, lawyers, activists and scholars. Participation in this artist intensive also gave me the opportunity to access Theater Mitu's core research, training, laboratory, and creation methodologies, known as Whole Theater. ”
