ABOUT THE ORGANIZERS

Arts and Culture Resources India (ACRI), is a platform for knowledge exchange, information sharing, networking, and learning for cultural and creative industry professionals in India. As creative professionals ourselves, back in 2013, they realised that while sharing and learning of artistic practice had several avenues, a space for arts administration was missing in India. ACRI was founded as a completely volunteer-led initiative to fill this gaping lacuna within the arts scene in the country, albeit as a Facebook group, Arts and Culture Opportunities, Residencies, Workshops, Jobs in India.

Kaivalya Plays is a multi-disciplinary performing arts organization focused on creating safety practices in the performing arts, innovating theatre formats and mentoring new talent, especially encouraging the presence of women in the performing arts and training arts managers for the theatre. With its roots in the cultural capital of India, New Delhi, Kaivalya Plays curates a hybrid cultural calendar of in-person and online activities across a wide spectrum of artistic fields. Their community of team members, students, teachers, performers and audiences are spread out across the world. Their Safety Research Study is the first of its kind in India to understand the needs of performers, audiences and spaces to create individualized safety practices for arts organizations. Their Theatre Management Fellowship is a one-of-a-kind training program for arts managers for strategic management and creative administration of theatre.
