Jill Navarre can surely be included in this list. Before she made Auroville her home in 1991, her numerous poems were published in periodicals in the USA and Canada. She also co-founded “a celebrated Toronto poetry coffee house, The Soft Cell”.
The transition from poetry to playwright happened during her university studies when she attended a playwriting class.
There was no looking back. Soon, she took to playwriting and directing dramas and went on to win two theatrical awards in Washington DC. She first visited Auroville in 1987 during her first visit to India. 4 years later, in 1991, she came to Auroville again and inwardly knew that she belonged to Auroville, that this was the right place for her. Next year, she founded the Auroville Theatre Group and has been its Artistic Director ever since. Over the last 35 years, she has planned, trained, rehearsed, and presented numerous drama-shows in Auroville. They belong to multiple genres – historical, literary, biographical, legends and even spiritual. Also, the institution of CRIPA (Centre for Research in Performing Arts) has been built thanks to the dedication of Jill. Also, it must be mentioned that since her early days in Auroville she has adopted a boy as her son from difficult circumstances and raised him in Auroville.
Recently, while conducting a workshop, Jill had a fall and fractured her left femur. This came on top of the medical requirement for hip replacement. Since Auroville Health Funds guidelines provide only for surgery and medicine expenses but not many other kinds of recovery expenses, Jill has posted an appeal for funds on a crowdfunding platform. The target amount is INR 7 lakhs. However, it seems that most of Jill’s artist friends and well-wishers can donate only in smaller amounts.
Taking into consideration this reality, a different campaign is proposed in which all admirers of Jill set up a recurring monthly transfer of INR 1000/- for next 24 months. In dollar terms it would amount to US$250 over two years. In Euro terms, it will amount to only Euro 218 for two years.
The idea is that 50 friends of Jill set up recurring transfers of INR1000/- (or whatever smaller or larger amount they wish to offer). This will go a long way in expressing our regards and appreciation and goodwill for Jill’s post-surgical recovery and, hopefully, the resumption of her creative theatre pursuits.
Jill’s Auroville Financial Service (FS) No. is: 2250
If you don’t have account with the Auroville Financial Service or if you are based abroad, please let me know at aryadeep@auroville.org.in or on WhatsApp 9487753699.
It may also be mentioned that 19th is Jill’s birthday…hence it would be in fitness of things if the recurring transfer is set up on 19th of each month.
If you don’t have any strong reservation, you may inform me by email or WhatsApp number mentioned earlier that you have set up a recurring transfer.
Let us let Jill know how much we appreciate her and hold her dear!

Workshop with Prof. Fabrice Nicot : The Arts of Transformation https://auroartworld.org/workshop-the-arts-of-transformation-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=workshop-the-arts-of-transformation-2 Mon, 21 Sep 2026 19:25:22 +0000 https://auroartworld.org/?p=63619 Sundays, 9AM- 1PM
mid August – mid November
CRIPA

Open to all, the “The Arts of Transformation” workshops, exploring transformation through the performing arts
(performance, theatre, song, dance, and music), will be offered by the theatre director, researcher and professor, Dr. Fabrice
Nicot, as part of the “Embodied Memories of Auroville” research-creation project (see below).
Inspired by the research of Polish director Jerzy Grotowski and the diverse artistic and educational projects conducted by
Prof. Fabrice Nicot around the world, the “The Arts of Transformation” workshops explore concepts such as bodily and
vocal organicity, bodily memory, “reversed perspective”; for performer (actor, dancer, singer, musician). Using the “via
negativa” method “unlearning” and “freeing oneself from the superfluous” – participants will explore the “organicity” (or
“vitality”) of movement and voice through songs and dances from around the world (Eastern Europe, Africa, Haiti, India).
This process fosters a sense of letting go while also releasing embodied memories. Materials may include texts related to
Auroville, Sri Aurobindo, the Mother, Vedanta, and various global spiritual traditions, as well as the participants’ own
autobiographical stories. Participants will then be able to offer their attention, bodies, and presence to the space, their
partners, and the artistic materials that “flow through” them. According to Grotowski’s researches and the “reversed
perspective” system, the text will “read” the participants, the song will “sing” them, and the dance will “dance” them.
Collective organic actions incorporating various elements – texts, songs, dances, and music – will emerge from this process.

To Participate:
Participants are welcome to join at any point in the workshop series. Once joined, a commitment to the remainder of the
sessions is expected in order to continue participating.
For more information and to register, email aurovilleartworld@gmail.com
Highly motivated workshop participants may join the Embodied Memories of Auroville;* research-creation project by
committing two additional weekly sessions. This is to be seen directly with Prof. Nicot.

About the facilitator, Prof. Fabrice Nicot (https://scenes-monde.univ-paris8.fr/fabrice-nicot):
Dr. / Prof. Fabrice Nicot is a stage director, an actor graduated from the French National School of Drama
(ENSATT), and a state-certified (D.E.) theatre professor. He teaches at conservatories, universities, and at
the European Drama School Cours Florent (Paris). As a director and pedagogue associated with the Grotowski
Institute in Wrocław (Poland), he also specializes in the arts of transformation. He holds a PhD in Aesthetics,
Arts Sciences and Technologies (specializing in theatre and performing arts) from the University of Paris 8,
and a PhD in Humanities and Social Sciences (specializing in anthropology) from the State University of
Haiti.

*Embodied Memories of Auroville, a research-creation project led by Prof. Fabrice Nicot in collaboration Aurovilians
Dr. Suryamayi Clarence-Smith and Kripa Borg,draws inspiration from the performance-based research of Jerzy Grotowski.
Through artistic workshops and performances, it invites Aurovilians to revive and embody personal, collective, and trans-
generational memories linked to Auroville’s origins; in doing so, it will engage community members intellectually,
emotionally, and physically with the community’s founding values, sparking reflection, sharing, and creation. The project is
affiliated with Indian and international institutes: Auroville Research Platform (SAIIER), French Institute of Pondicherry,
Magic Lantern Trust (Chennai), Accès Culture et Citoyenneté (ACC), Univers-scène / Théâtre de l’Epi d’Or, Grotowski
Institute in Wrocław (Poland), Paris 8 University (Centre for Human and Social Sciences Paris North), and the Ramakrishna
Vedanta Centre in Gretz (France).

Morning by appointment

Interactive Art Installation
No registration needed

Neha Dighe invites you to 6 days of play, with ‘HARMONY’.

Join us, in solving the jigsaw puzzle as we discover the rules of the game together.
Harmony emerged from attempts to read the land, from what one sees on the surface of the landscape and the layers of stories that it holds. Land and water, ‘drawing’ landscapes over geological times.
Harmony is an attempt to initiate a dialogue about landscapes, geology, hydrology and habitat fragmentation to provide a sense of nurture to the climate anxiety embedded in the work.
It is designed to spark conversations, discussions and curiosity. Perhaps even an urge to pursue something that comes up through these interactions!
This work is a part of a series titled ‘All Problems of Existence are essentially problems of Harmony’. The title is a quote borrowed from Sri Aurobindo’s book, The Life Divine.

Open Space Documentary Arts Programme
8–11 Sept 2026 | 3–6 pm IST | Online

Looking at any history from a practitioner’s point of view, there lies the possibility to collectively churn and map thoughts on praxis instead of walking down a museum hallway. As a practitioner one gets a chance to have a nuanced understanding of their present with its complexity of form and subjects. Also a possibility of sharpening their craft vocabulary and locating their praxis. From the post avant-garde practice, one can also look at history as a diverse palette of cultural archives and initiate a formal dialogue through their practice.

The 4-day session will see a phase by phase evolution of major trends and traditions in India Documentary filmmaking that span over a century, as India navigates through its major sociopolitical phases.

Baseline contribution: ₹1200 (India) / €25 (international)

Solo Painting Exhibition: Kalai Iyattran: I. Sezhian’s – Pondicherry – until 29 September https://auroartworld.org/solo-painting-exhibition-kalai-iyattran-i-sezhians-pondicherry-until-29-september/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=solo-painting-exhibition-kalai-iyattran-i-sezhians-pondicherry-until-29-september Wed, 09 Sep 2026 01:44:47 +0000 https://auroartworld.org/?p=63771
  • Dates: September 2 through September 29, 2026
  • Venue: Family Restaurant, Heritage Town, Puducherry

Guest of Honour Dr. Gopal Jayaraman, Kalaimamani awardee and artist, admired the work’s raw conviction: 

“His fearless approach to execution gives the works a sense of spontaneity and vitality… an expressive visual language that is energetic.”

Kirti Chandak of TASMAI, Centre for Art & Culture, offers perhaps the most striking read of the artist himself: 

“He looks very calm on the surface, but a storm of emotions is loaded with madness underlying his stillness… willing to challenge himself at every moment, erase the marks made, to be reborn.” She noted the bull and buffalo as Sezhian’s recurring emblem — “a symbol of patience and power, a persona he identifies with.”

Invitation to Participate | The Descent of Light – Centenary Darshan, November 2026 https://auroartworld.org/invitation-to-participate-the-descent-of-light-centenary-darshan-november-2026/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=invitation-to-participate-the-descent-of-light-centenary-darshan-november-2026 Wed, 09 Sep 2026 01:41:24 +0000 https://auroartworld.org/?p=63820
Dear Artists,

We are happy to share that we have started preparations for our November exhibition, The Descent of Light, and would like to invite you to contribute artwork(s) inspired by the theme.

A short note introducing the theme is attached to this email for your reference.

This exhibition holds a special significance, as the upcoming 24 November 2026 Darshan marks the centenary of Sri Aurobindo’s historic Siddhi experience- the descent of Krishna’s Light into the physical in 1926. If the theme resonates with you and inspires you to create or offer a work for this special day, we warmly welcome artworks from all disciplines and media.

A selection of works will also be offered for sale through Art for Land, supporting its vital work towards securing Auroville’s land. At the same time, with the artists’ agreement, certain works will be retained to become part of the Auroville Art Collection- a permanent collection for posterity, testifying to Auroville’s creative dynamism.

If you would like to participate, please send us photographs of the artwork(s), along with the medium, dimensions, and a few lines describing each piece, before 1 November 2026.
If you already have artworks that resonate with the theme, please feel free to share them with us as early as possible rather than waiting until the November deadline.

We heartily welcome you to be part of this special historical occasion and contribute to Auroville’s growing artistic heritage.
Love and gratitude,
Priya for Art for Land
