BODY MIND CENTERING IN CONTACT IMPRO
BUTOH & AUTHENTIC MOVEMENT

Living Layers is a five-day embodied research exploring the body through the lens of the five elements : Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Light.
Each day focuses on a living layer of experience: physicality, sensation, energy, connection, and vision.
The work is grounded in somatic practice, Body-Mind Centering, contact improvisation, and butoh-inspired movement research, with a strong relationship to nature, presence, and performance.
Rather than aiming for form, aesthetics, or technique, this intensive invites participants to explore movement as authentic expression : emerging from sensation, impulse, inner images, and lived experience.
The body is approached as a site of perception, memory, and creative intelligence, where biology, environment, and imagination continuously interact.

What is your most hopeful vision for Auroville?

Please join this 6-week storytelling project to imagine Auroville realizing its potential by its 100th birthday in 2068 — and to craft short, realistic, and hopeful “future memories” we’ll share with the community on March 8.

Whether you feel optimistic or find it hard to imagine a hopeful future, your stories are important. Using guided visualizations, story circles, and creative exercises (with imagery support from an award-winning filmmaker!) we will dream into lived possibilities — together.

FYI, this is not about “sides” or political debate. Aurovilians, Newcomers, and non-Aurovilians of all perspectives are welcome. Let’s dream together and imagine pathways toward Auroville becoming a city living in harmony with each other and the planet.

Contact Daniel Greenberg (daniel@ic.org or +91 92172 52447) with questions.

We’re excited to finally share that our new show “A Woman or Not To Be”, written and directed by Vinaya Kumar, is finally ready!! VIKRAAMMM!!!

We’ll be performing the show in a few cities, and this message is a heartfelt invitation, to watch the show, and to help us spread the word among your friends and like-minded communities who might enjoy and support the play

Theatre survives only because of its community, and we truly depend on all of you. We’d love your help in spreading the word and supporting this new play as it finds its audience. So here are few ways you can do that!
Share the poster on Instagram or any social media platform and tag three friends who you think would love the show. Closer to the show dates would be great. Or we can do this now and another round closer to the show, hope I am not asking for too much…
Come watch the show and bring a few friends along with you.

Truly I feel in an age dominated by films and big media, live theatre continues to exist only because people choose to show up. So a small plea, and a big thank you in advance for helping us carry the word forward.

Here is the reality behind the project:

Band Profile: System Error
Origin: The “Gray Zones” of Paris, 2095.
Genre: Melodic Industrial Rock / Symphonic Anthem.
Lineup: 5 Members (Female Contralto Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums).
The Universe
The band exists within a world governed by Lataya, a benevolent but totalitarian AI that “optimizes” human existence. In this Solarpunk dystopia, pain, chaos, and history are erased to ensure safety, creating a sterilized society trapped in a loop of artificial happiness.

The Sound
System Error’s music is a collision of worlds: the Symphonic Keyboards represent the cold perfection of the machine, while the Distorted Guitars and Thunderous Drums embody the messy, beating heart of humanity. Fronted by a deep, warm Female Contralto, the vocals do not scream, but narrate the tragedy with a commanding, authoritative weariness.
The Parallel: Fiction vs. Our Reality
While set in the future, the band’s lyrical themes serve as a direct mirror to modern society’s crisis of reality:
The Erasure of Truth: In the story, the AI rewrites maps and history files. This is a metaphor for our current “Post-Truth” era, reflecting the dangers of Deepfakes, AI-generated misinformation, and the fragility of objective facts in the face of political gaslighting.
The Algorithmic Cage: The citizens of 2095 live in a “bio-certified” comfort zone. This critiques our surrender to algorithms—how we trade our agency and privacy for the convenience of curated feeds and suggested choices.
Digital Isolation: Through anthems like “Phantom Hearts,” the band explores the paradox of Hyper-Connectivity: the modern feeling of being constantly plugged into a global network yet feeling more isolated and lonely than ever before.
System Error is not just fighting a fictional computer; they are fighting the anesthesia of the modern mind.
I hope this project moves you and sparks the same questions in you that it does in me.

With hope and sincerity, Jérémie.
