Research project(s) and grant(s)

- Awarded the International Bursary by the Performance Epistemologies of the Global Majority (PEGM) Summer School, as a part of PSi29 (Performance Studies International) Conference, hosted by the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, University of London, June 2024.

- Awarded the Performance Studies International (PSi) Constellate 2025 grant to curate an online 'constellation of events' over May to November 2025, gathered under the theme of 'Performing Re-Markings', drawing from my doctoral research on queer/non-conforming aesthetics. The series of talks, featuring artists, scholars, and educators from India alongside their collaborators from broader global-local networks, fosters intentional exchange and dialogue around this theme. These events—whether in the form of performance lectures, traditional sharings, or other modalities—offer opportunities for reflection on the complexities of queer and/or nonconforming aesthetics through ‘Re-marking,’ a key component of ‘Cleaving,’ a critical performance conceptualization and methodology.
