This is a collaborative workshop for the movement specialists in Clonmel who are interested in trying to incorporate other movement vocabularies in their already existing specialisation. In conjunction with From Out the Land that focusses on telling stories of the land through the barracks, a significant landmark in Clonmel, this workshop is aimed at working on different types of movements, rhythmic patterns and gestures that can effectively communicate a wide range of garrison-associated images, and building a narrative to tell stories in the process. The core of Bharatanatyam lies in its ability to recreate a particular character, setting, or situation with evocative movement and minimal props, and this requires a certain level of method acting that is inbuilt in the form as well.
Participants for this workshop require some movement skills, not necessarily professional, and it would be wonderful if they could come up with questions and ideas on what they want to learn to work on and try out, so the second half of the workshop can be dedicated to such particular aims that effectively contributes to the larger project as well.
Subhashini Goda is an interdisciplinary artist and an academic from Chennai, India, specialising in the dance form of Bharatanatyam. She has been practising and performing for close to three decades and has taught the dance form for well over fifteen years. With a masters in English literature and another Erasmus international joint masters in Dance Anthropology, the core of her artistic practice revolves around traditions, transgressions, and memories and her academic work centres on migration, identity, and politics. She is currently pursuing an interdisciplinary PhD funded by the IRC, at University College Dublin on the practice of Bharatanatyam and its role in identity making processes among the Indo-Irish diaspora, and has given performances and workshops at a few festivals in Ireland. While her main movement specialisation is Bharatanatyam, she believes that art is a powerful medium to bring people together and constantly seeks to expand the scope for it and push the boundaries to recreate the form in varied contexts, making spaces for narratives of belonging and integration between different communities.
For trained dancers/actors, Subhashini Goda gives a workshop using Indian dance to explore military themes as part of the From Out The land project
