Day 1 & 2

| Day 1|

Attakkalari studio

Wilson Gardens

Bangalore

A welcome and introductory day

with the team at Attakkalari dance studio in the south of Bangalore. A day to meet the team, fellow artists, and mentors. Sharing our ideas, interests we wish to explore during this thrilling dance residency - a simple day to allow the jet lag to fade, and to orientate ourselves with the people and the city!!

| Day 2 |

First thing; 8am call we gather at the place in which we are to perform later in the process; while we wait for all to arrive and survive the Bangalore early morning traffic (its rush hour every hour!) sweet coffee and breakfast are enjoyed as we sit in this sanctuary protecting us from the hum and roar of the waking city.

Performance space, Alliance Francaise

We are taken to our own individual studios that are scattered all over the city, I arrive to find I have been allocated a wonderful space in the East of the city, a wee haven amidst the cities madness. A beautiful space that is kept immaculate by the beloved Kala, whom comes everyday to open and prepare the space. Then she watches and waits patiently until we are finished.

Waving us goodbye at the end of each day, and then again the next with smiles and hugs at the ready! Already we have been blessed with a visit from her mother, sharing food and more hugs of welcome!
