> We haven't reached out to you in a long, long time, so first let us look
> back - in August we held our third anniversary festival, Roads and Seas, in
> various hidden corners of Kolkata, and party in the red-soiled land of
> Tepantar Theatre Village. We had the iconic Moushumi Bhowmik, Atelier
> Theatre from Delhi, Anish Victor from Bangalore and Butoh dancer Syv
> Bruzeau from Singapore. Here are some images from Syv's performance, "They
> Never Cease", at Studio 21, Kolkata: http://wp.me/p2sKej-2e

>  and on Kalaripayattu, breath and expression with Arka Mukhopadhyay
> 
> 
> 
> Presented as part of the "India Rhizoming Tour" 2014-15, the central theme

> 
>  ‘We are ONENESS as Life’.
> 
> Areas of exploration will include:
> 
> 1. Transcendence from existential mode to subbody, i.e . Subconscious body
> mode by original conditioning method (Breathing, Vibrating, Swaying,
> Opening various channels of the body and so on.)
> 
> 2. Listen to the darkness of the body, catch and follow the subtle
> tendencies of Life in it.
> 
> 3. Research in the Abyss & the necessity of creation for each Life and
> share it together as own issue.

> And finally, the call for applications for the Ghosts of Shakespeare
> Festival - 2015 is now out:
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> Ghosts of Shakespeare is an annual festival that is meant to confront the
> world of Shakespeare from the vantage of contemporary subjectivities and
> lived experience, as well as spaces that can be called primordial or
> mythical. It is meant to exist, both physically and metaphorically, in
> marginal spaces.
> 
> For the 2015 edition, sub-titled “The Idiot’s Tale”, we will look at solo
> performances. Through this device, we are essentially looking at the figure
> of the solitary human being in front of the universe.
> 
> To read the full call, please visit: http://wp.me/P2sKej-2Y
> 
> Though that's all the information for now, we'd like to share some thoughts
> before we sign off - day by day, we as a species are wading deeper and
> deeper in blood. From the seaside in Gaza to schools in Pakistan, we have
> watered the tree of hate with the blood of children. 'After such knowledge,
> what deliverance?', the poet would ask. And another poet would answer, that
> in dark times, we must sing about the dark times. Let us sing on then. Let
> us sing songs of memory, and lullabies to our unborn children. In whatever
> way, and in whatever form, let us dance our deaths, and let us sing our
> fragile lives. We leave you with the words of the iconic Bengali poet
> Jibanananda Das, whose 60th death anniversary passed by recently:
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
>

> 
> 
> *"I still say, As long as we are alive on this earth, Let us walk from sun
> to sun. Let us touch the grass of this world, Let us wonder how, From
> creation's poisoned heart And the trampled soul of humanity Yet is born the
> infinite blue sky. Let us wonder, let us wonder!"*
