SUMMARY:d.r.i.f.t festival 2020
DESCRIPTION:Since 2017\, our annual festival has been built on one central principle: community! People matter to us. \nEach year\, we bring shows and workshops from India and abroad to local audiences. We also stage productions with local schools and adults with whom we have been engaged through the year. \nParticipating groups oversee the running of the festival\, along with volunteers and organisers. Everyone helps with setting up\, backstage work\, ushering\, and preparing and serving food and drink for artists\, volunteers and audience members alike\, among other work. Artists\, volunteers and organisers work on the same tasks together. Volunteers see every show and also attend workshops. The result is a warm and intimate atmosphere unlike any other festival in the country–or so our participants and audiences tell us! We believe that by bringing people together to work towards a collective vision\, theatre can build powerful solidarities between different people and groups. And indeed\, this is a festival that is kept going by the spirit of theatre and collaboration. \n  \n  \n \n  \n  \n   \n  \n
