One day at Shilpakala Academy, two separate experiences. The workshop and the performance are signed up for separately, so choose the one that's for you, or do both.
A hands-on day learning electronic music across four segments, on real gear, inside the auditorium. For those who want to learn.
An evening of electronic music on one of the country's most iconic stages. Vinyl and live sets, open to all. For those who want to be there.
Electronic music steps onto one of the country's most iconic cultural stages. Held inside the auditorium itself, you learn surrounded by the real rig: decks, synths, the full production setup. Not a lecture. A day of doing.
Get on the actual equipment in the auditorium. The decks, the synths, the desk, the live rig.
A full day means a proper break. Lunch is provided for every selected participant.
Shilpakala Academy provides a conveyance allowance to selected participants for attending.
Kept small on purpose, so everyone gets real time with the instructors and the equipment.
