Deadline: 20-Aug-22
The Inlaks Shivdasani Foundation invites proposals from individual artists who draw from and are exploring movement practices or body-based practices in the fields of dance, choreography, performance–traditional and/or contemporary–to investigate.
The artist-in-residence is welcome to experiment with performance-making, fearlessly express themselves in their present capacity, challenge existing vocabularies, frameworks and disciplinary boundaries, rupture binaries of theory and practice as well as engage with performance as a medium for liminal social engagement. The structure of the residency is imagined as responsive; one that emerges directly from a dialogue with the resident and the specific needs of their artistic pursuit.
Funding Information
- The grant amount is Indian Rupees 1,50,000.00 (One Lakh Fifty Thousand only) for a residency period of 45-60 days. This is inclusive of all expenses related to travel (flight/train to and from Delhi), accommodation, food, healthcare, production, marketing, honorarium and daily allowance.
Eligibility Criteria
- Artists who are Indian passport-holders residing in the North Eastern Region (NER) of India comprising Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura only.
- Emerging performing artists from communities that are historically and structurally marginalised on account of their social location vis-a-vis but not limited to caste, class, gender, race, merit, economic status, sexuality, religion and ability.
- Emerging performance-makers who draw from and are exploring movement practices of the body; traditional and/or contemporary, to investigate their forms through their expressive interdisciplinary process.
- Applicants who are available to be in Delhi for the entire duration of the residency.
- Applicants who are willing to design the residency structure that responds to their own needs as performance-makers.
