Chowk Residency with Raka Maitra
Residency Structure | 16th – 27th June 2025
This 10-day residency offers an immersive training experience led by Raka Maitra, focusing on the foundational movement principles of Odissi and Seraikela Chhau, which form the core of Chowk’s methodology. The residency will explore the intricacies of these movement traditions, deconstructing and adapting them to the creation of new works. Participants will engage in:
1. Training in the Chowk Movement Methodology
Odissi & Seraikela Chhau Foundations – Developing strength, agility, and articulation through these classical forms.
Deconstruction of Movement – Understanding how these forms are reinterpreted within Chowk’s methodology for contemporary choreographic work.
2. Training in Gaze & Expression
Refining Drishti (gaze) control and its connection to movement.
Exploring focus, intent, and projection in performance.
3. Improvisation & Choreographic Exploration
Guided improvisation to explore movement vocabulary within the Chowk framework.
Developing and working on segments from Raka Maitra’s choreographic work Second Sunrise.
4. Additional Training Opportunity
As part of the residency, participants will also have the opportunity to attend regular Odissi classes held at the studio in the evenings, further deepening their understanding of the form. Class details can be found at: https://www.chowk.sg/training.
