Participants will live together as a community at the charming and blissful Infinite Souls Artists Retreat, amidst the hills and forests some hour outside Bangalore, while learning new techniques for self expression and drawing on original repertoire sourced through extensive practical research on Classical Plays and Devising. The rhythm of the work will celebrate the rural surroundings and allow time for walking, talking, relaxation, dreaming as well as physical and musical exploration of cast scenes.

Infinite Souls is a place of repose. The shared dream of Konarak Reddy, Kirtana Kumar and Kaeya Zui. Nestled in the shadow of the beautiful monolith Savandurga, it is 40km from the centre of Bangalore, in Vardenahalli village. The cottages, rehearsal spaces, outdoor kitchen, woodfire oven and dining area were built by young masons from a labour collective using stabilized mud block, local granite and recycled wood. It was inaugurated in 2007 with an International Theatre Residency by Ay Ombe Theatre, New York.
