CONTAGION

Performance | Space | Community

Performance, Space, Community is a series of 8 online curated conversations and presentations where we invite speakers and attendees to address performance as an art and part of the human act of assembly. The eight sessions feature presenters from across the globe spanning backgrounds of dance, theatre, anthropology, academia, sport, management, business, psychology, literature and more.
The series is imagined and produced by Pickle Factory Dance Foundation, Calcutta in partnership with Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata.
Through the cross-sectoral interactions of conversation and performance in the CONTAGION series, we hope to imagine what our space can and should be to serve the artists, audiences and formats of tomorrow without invalidating, forgetting and replacing those of yesterday.

Curated by: Vikram Iyengar, Sharvari Sastry, Christophe Knoch.
Period: 25 September to 17 October 2020

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem
