Creative Journeys: M D Pallavi

We are happy to host the 9th session of the Creative Journeys series organised by TOTO Funds the Arts. This edition features long-standing partner and bangaloREsidency host M D Pallavi. 

M D Pallavi negotiates multiple artistic fields with ease. Trained in Hindustani classical music, she went on to win a clutch of awards for Best Playback Singer in the Kannada film industry and make a name for herself in theatre, television and cinema. Notable among her international stage performances are the hugely popular Goethe-supported Boy with a Suitcase, which has toured all over India and Germany, and C Sharp C Blunt for which she won the Mahindra Excellence in Theatre Awards for Best Actress.

Pallavi’s anecdotal talk, illustrated with photographs and video clips, and interspersed with live singing, will describe her stage and screen career, from her national and international concerts and her musical collaborations to her acting, directing and screenwriting experiences.
