Ramzan walk in the Hzt. Nizamuddin Area on the 12th of July, and workshop for actors, dancers and musicians on the 14th and 15th of July.

Join us for walk through the smells and colours of Basti Hzt. Nizamuddin at 6 PM on the 12th of July. As we walk through the lanes and by-lanes of the area, we will also 'walk' along the trails of memory and fable, through stories and the poetry of Hzt. Amer Khusrao. The walk will culminate in the Dargah at the time of Iftaar. 

Suggested contribution for the walk: You can contribute any amount, but the suggested contribution is 600 or above. All contributions will go towards organizing the Bordersongs festival (http://www.wishberry.in/The-Border-Songs-Festival-16141). To register, please mail your name and contact number to: thearshina...@gmail.com. 

On the 14th and 15th, join us for "Breath, Body, Space", a workshop for actors, dancers and musicians, led by Arka Mukhopadhyay. 

By observing and connecting with the rhythms and patterns of our own breath, we will work on grounding, centring, attention and responsiveness. We will learn how to unlock the flow of impulse from within our bodies, and thus work towards a deep and expressive physical and vocal language.

The Arshinagar Project is envisioned as a collective of artists
and cultural practitioners from different traditional and contemporary 
disciplines, as well as practitioners from other disciplines such as 
anthropology, education and ecology, for research into performance 
as transformational action.
'Arshinagar' means 'the city of mirrors', and the name is derived 
from a song by Lalon Phokir, one of the greatest masters among 
the Bauls of Bengal - wandering mystical musician-performers who 
through embodied practice attempt to touch the unbodied.The logo 
represents the 'ektara' (literally 'one-stringed') - a drone-like 
instrument used in different forms and names in different Asian 
cultures, which has come to symbolize the Bauls.
The Arshinagar Project aims to foster a spirit of freedom, respect for 
human diversity, ecological harmony and love, among young adults, 
youth in colleges and universities, educators and others, through 
performances, immersive workshops in urban and natural settings 
based on traditions of mystical performance and practice as well as 
contemporary performance-craft, through lecture-demonstrations, 
seminars, and journeys through inner and outer spaces.
