Project Period: Eight months

For the implementation of a Foundation Project by IFA under Explorations which will attempt to reconstruct Mizo folktales through movement arts that creates a new ‘folk dance’ in collaboration with community members as a way of recovering memories that were lost after the coming of Christianity to the region in the 20th century. The outcome of the project will be the new folk dance, along with open movement workshops, curated happenings, and community dining. The Project Coordinator’s deliverables to IFA with the final report will be audio-visual documentation of the artistic process, along with written/ illustrated notes on the exploration and public events. Project funds will pay for contract fees, hire of venue, and travel and living.
