Manage episode 406602062 series 2554609
Teaching us to be graceful in what we do and encouraging us to practice the art of listening is this week's guest on The SoapyRao Show, Anuja Ghosalkar.
Anuja Ghosalkar is a Bangalore based artist. She is the founder of Drama Queen, a Documentary theatre company, that focusses on personal histories & archival absences to extend the idea of theatre to create audacious work. Undocumented narratives, gender in performance, research and iterations around form and process are critical to her performance and pedagogical work. She was artist-in-residence at Art Lab Gnesta, Sweden (2015), and Srishti Institute of Art Design & Technology, Bangalore (2017). Anuja is the co-curator of the international workshop series on Documentary Theatre with her German collaborator––that programmed artists like Boris Nikitin, Rimini Protokoll, Zhao Chuan and Gobsquad. As visiting faculty at Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology since 2016, she leads practice-based pedagogy. In the past, she was programme officer at India Foundation for the Arts, film programmer for Experimenta and India researcher for University of Westminster. She is an Art Think South Asia Fellow (2017-18) and has written on film and performance for Nang Magazine, Art India, Bioscope, Hakara, Scroll, and Ladies Finger.
Tune in to our episode to learn more about Anuja's work and philosophy, the future of art and independent artists and how do we as artists protect ourselves in this cutthroat world.
