Swiss choreographer Philippe Saire will participate as a mentor at FACETS, Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts' International Choreography Residency, in Bangalore.
FACETS 2015 will be held from January 5th to February 5th 2015 in Bangalore. During this period the choreographers will create works which will be premiered at the Attakkalari India Biennial 2015 scheduled between February 6th and 15th.
The Residency will act as a mentored production period in which 16 emerging choreographers will benefit from Philippe Saire's expertise and experience. The outcome of this mentorship will be a new quality performance piece in a creative environment that will premiere at the Attakkalari India Biennial 2015.
