About

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.

The residency will be held together by the community of artists that form Khuli Khirkee. Their practices are as diverse as dance, theatre, performance art, community theatre, somatics, lighting design, visual art, music, drama therapy, writing and film. The community is committed to acting as peers, mentor(s) or outside eye and/or provide suggestions, guidance and assistance as per the needs of the artist-in-residence. The artist-in-residence is encouraged to do two in-progress sharings of their work with the Khuli Khirkee community through the course of the residency and a final work-in-progress sharing, which will be open to the public. The residency does not demand for a full and final piece of work to be arrived at.
