The Serendipity Arts Foundation, supported by
the British Council, is calling for practitioners from India and from the UK
South Asian diaspora for the online course ‘City as Stage’.
The course ‘City as Stage’ will present a
series of interdisciplinary modules that probe the role of the performing arts
in chronicling the present of India’s urban centres while reimagining and
challenging the ways in which we have traditionally come together to
experience, view, and consume art in the city. These online modules will serve
as educational resources and practical guides for artists, researchers, architects,
writers, journalists, designers, coders, et al, enabling them
to respond to urban life and the complex sensorium it generates. Each module
will focus on a specific
theme pertaining to the activation of public spaces in the city through dance,
music, theatre, sound, and movement.
