Coming up, Theatre Flamingo's theatre residency in October

Theatre Flamingo, Goa, is conducting a winter theatre residency -- Acting & its Magnetism -- in October where artists from different genres will come together to rewire their inner selves and unleash their thoughts and creativity.

The theatre residency will be held October 23 to 29, 2023, at TF Actor's Lab, Canacona, South Goa.

Through navarasa, kalaripayattu, voice work, studio and site-specific exercises, trekking in the woods, scene work, voicework, waterfall-jungle trail, sharing of ideas, and many other activities, participants will embark on a transformative journey into becoming a thinker-actor. 

The theatre residency will culminate in a musical play, Boro, which is loosely adapted from Akira Kurosawa's movie Kagemusha.

Theatre Flamingo's creative journey began in 2017 when amateur artists and enthusiasts got down to promote grassroots theatre, and since then has been undertaking different theatre projects, including theatre residencies.

The projects and theatre residencies of Theatre Flamingo have showcased a diverse range of performances and provided a common stage for both regional and contemporary theatre.

Keatan Jadhav is the founder and artistic director at Theatre Flamingo. After completing his masters in theatre, Jadhav founded TF Actors Lab in Canacona to create a theatre space focused on children’s theatre and intensive training in performance for theatre practitioners. 

He has been developing acting and performance research with strong focus on the body and emotions, spatial and energetic awareness and voice. Under TF Actors Lab, Jadhav conducts theatre workshops and curates theatre festivals all over India.

Jadhav is a recipient of mime research scholarship from the Ministry of Culture. As an actor he has performed in ITFOK (2019) and his short film, A Cold Summer Night, was selected in Locarno International Film Festival.
