d.r.i.f.t. presents PRIMAL SOUND with Anant Dayal
Those of you who attended our Theatre Festival this March know of the infamous “chop it down chop it down” sound along with that Accordion he played, that has haunted us ever since his stellar performance- The Spirit of the Willow Tree, at the festival.
This time Anant will be in town to share his expertise with all of us in the form of a 5 day Voice & Rhythm workshop at the idyllic
The Ballu
Homestay. (Cost of Workshop: Rs.3000/- incl. of all 5 days)
The cry of joy, the gasp of surprise, even the groan of boredom; breath and voice are among our most instinctive means of expression. Add a dose of rhythm to the mix and Voila! You have the makings of a language that is unique and varied as it is universal.
In this workshop we will first look to gain awareness of our own sonic vocabulary. Next, we will attempt to expland this vocabulary through vocal training and rhythm building. Finally, we will apply the fascinating possibilities of this expressive language in a short devised performance.
Anant is a performance/theatre artist based in Delhi. He says,
“I like to think of myself primarily as a storyteller-musician, certainly much of my work comes about while traversing the boundaries between words and music. I see this workshop as an extension of my creative process, and am really excited to share this leg of the journey with you.”
We at d.r.i.f.t. are trying to build a community of local theatre enthusiasts who could work together in the future for all things theatrical and would value your participation in this endeavour deeply. Look forward to seeing you.
