Open Studio / Workshop with Preethi Athreya

Chennai-based contemporary dancer and choreographer Preethi Athreya is offering a workshop to  performers, performance-makers, writers, theatre artists, sound and visual artists. The three-day workshop  investigates ways in which the objects we live with can become a source of creative expression.

How can the act of looking, touching or holding these objects be a way to ‘read’ them; how do they converse with our anatomical selves? The workshop involves writing, making scores, moving and responding to image.

By a reassessment of what we consider to be our belongings, the workshop offers some triggers for a reflection of who we are and what things have written us collectively into being.

As part of her ongoing research from her project INHERITAGE, Preethi will present a performance. INHERITAGE is an installation that traces a relationship with objects inherited, passed on or lost. Through development of text, movement and sound, Preethi presents a personal ‘archaeology’ of objects, embodying critical questions of our attachment to our belongings, to the idea of belonging and to place.
