Calling Poets, Dancers, Musicians and Performers

India/Wales Exchange

Fio is looking for 4 mixed discipline artists to participate in an India Wales R&D residency.

From 27th November - 10th December 2017, Welsh artists will be going to India where they will be devising a new piece/s of work, whilst developing new skills in collaboration with 4 Indian artists.  The work created will be shared at the Europe Asia Roundtable Sessions, hosted by our partners, The Mumbai Assembly in December.
