SOUTH INDIA ARTIST INTENSIVE

WHAT IS YOUR MYTHOLOGY?
HOW DOES IT MEET OUR CURRENT REALITY?
HOW CAN YOUR ARTS PRACTICE ACTIVELY BRIDGE THESE?

These are the questions that will propel and shape this three-week intensive. This program will bring together a group of international participants, Mitu teaching artists, and Indian masters to rigorously engage with these core ideas.

The artist’s personal mythology is often overlooked in an attempt to focus on technique, achievement, and success. But the question remains, what propels the artist? What is their belief system? What stories have formed who they are and the work they create? We believe the answers to these questions can only be discovered when the artist is asked to forget everything they think they know and in so doing, explore themselves outside of a context that is familiar: artistically, philosophically, aesthetically, and geographically. It is this belief that began Theater Mitu’s extensive and ongoing conversation with some of South India’s most accomplished masters and artists.
