Join
a global community of theatre-makers, pedagogues, and performers in
discussion to share and hear from one-another how the conversations we
have had here (and elsewhere) around the pandemic moment are helping us
re-shape and re-imagine our practices as theatre-makers. This 20th talk
brings us to the mid-season break of Unrehearsed Futures (Season 2),
where we look forward to hearing your stories, to see in what ways the
ideas and conversations you have come across have manifested in your
practice.
The conversation will be moderated by co-curator Jehan Manekshaw, head of Drama School Mumbai.
Since
his Masters in Theatre Direction from the University of London, Jehan
Manekshaw’s contributions to the Indian theatre sphere have been
considerable. He founded and heads the Drama School Mumbai, driven to
forging a new generation of theatre-makers, is director of Theatre
Professionals to promote theatre-based learning through school
education, and has built partnerships across theatre institutions to
strengthen the training and upskilling of theatre professionals. His
contribution has been acknowledged by the Sangeet Natak Akademi, the
Indian government's apex body for performing arts and culture, by
conferring Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar (award). With a rich
background in pedagogy, and practice, Jehan conceptualised Unrehearsed
Futures, and co-curates it with peers for a global, holistic overview of
the challenges facing the theatre industry.
Kindly
note: This conversation will be recorded for internal purposes only. It
will not be livestreamed or published on Youtube. However, a written
reportage will be made available to the public at a later date.
