Mondays Are Best for Flying out of Windows
2018
INTRODUCTION
The play is an approach to Russian writer Daniil Kharms’ work from a state of complete unknowing. A piece of text, a thought, an idea or an image triggered off explorations, representing a collective response to Kharms and his work, conceived in a true spirit of collaboration.

Walk Back to Look
2018
INTRODUCTION
Walk Back to Look is a gentle provocation to passer-bys to wait and stare at mundane things, taking a moment to breathe before jumping on a bus or haggling with a flower-seller. Maybe we will stop to hear the spunky fisherwomen in the market, or a vendor incessantly talking of a faraway home. Everyday stories of people who inhabit these spaces maybe be revealed when we walk back.
The performance centres around stillness, walking and listening. Stillness, when the site is frenzied and hurried. And a lively playfulness during a lull. The performers will infuse fresh intensity by creating a contrasting tempo with their bodies. Simultaneously these bodies will reveal fragile dreams and imaginations that go unspoken in crowded, public spaces. A performance with minimal dialogue, the only words might be the hand written notes and placards. These illustrated notes/placards carry playful, spirited messages to engage with the large & fleeting audience- the common man walking on the street, or the commuters at a bus stop or shoppers at the market.

Museum of Sounds in my head
INTRODUCTION
Museum of Sounds in my Head is a sound experience—at its core, it is a space for sound which invades your entire being, leaving visitors with a completely transformative aural and physical experience. Aimed at triggering the senses and altering the way we listen, the museum will be fragmented into various sound spaces that are immersive, surreal and ultimately transformative. The idea behind this project is an attempt to bring to reality sounds that may have appeared in your imagination or a lucid dream—unreal, unearthly, haunting, strange, disturbing and otherwise unheard. The aim is to bring the core of sound and its science to the fore through the use of technology. Apart from sound installations, are also be performances of artists who ‘play’ with noise.
