TM Krishna concludes a productive year with a series of performance and masterclass centred on an artist’s responsibility
TM Krishna in performance
Busy is an appropriate adjective for vocalist and singer TM Krishna. “It has been a productive year — travel, work, writing, and singing,” he admits. This weekend though, he will return to Mumbai for a series of sessions that explore his idea of art. Hosted at the G5A Warehouse, the Carnatic vocalist will be part of the collective’s first chapter titled Voice and Responsibility.
“I believe art is a dialogue. It reflects all that you see, experience, and even miss. I don’t think I can separate my music from other works,” he admits. For founder and artistic director Anuradha Parikh, it is a part of the core idea of the space. “The idea was never to build an event space, but a lab where concepts, artistic practices and productions are allowed to evolve organically,” she says.
To that end, the sessions will weave experiences across artistic disciplines with Krishna opening the session with a performance followed by masterclasses and conversations; there will also be an evening dinner and conversation with the drag artiste Glorious Luna, and performances by the Chennai-based contemporary fusion band, Jatayu. “The conversations will be about building bridges, sharing art, and learning to listen; to be messy. After all, you are not an artiste unless you engage with the messiness of life,” Krishna signs off.
