Floating Space is a place to explore possibilities and question perceived limits in performance; it is a place of meetingfloatingspace.org Colombo, Sri LankaJoined March 2011
Ever since Ranil Wickremesinghe was elected, he has systematically weaponised the law to crackdown on peaceful protests by Sri Lankans. He has no mandate and he is preventing democratic elections being held. Why are you giving this despot legitimacy @Harvard@MittalInstitute?
A glimpse into the practice of a theatre collective in Sri Lanka...
Check out a collection of videos and articles from @floatingspace, who we recently worked with on Table Top Stories:

10 years ago this week we staged the #Gaza Mono-logues in #Colombo - in solidarity with children living in context of war and conflict. Our intention was to work with young #performers and audiences to create spaces for sharing and memory. #LKA#art#drama#theatreSL
We are sat in the Zoom theatre watching work in progress Table Top Stories this morning. It is so lovely to see such a mix of approaches. 🙏

How do we think about liveness- not just in terms of handling the objects, but also in terms of how we phrase the story we tell?#TableTopStories workshop is in its final week. Participants share their work this week & we are very excited! @ForcedEnts@kathaghera@BritishArts#lka
The #TableTopStories workshop with @ForcedEnts is in week three and it's been a really interesting process for us! It's our first workshop/collaboration for 2021 and first ever online #performance making experince. Interesting new possibilities await! #theatreSL#lka#art
The beginning of week 3 of #TableTopStories. The artists have been working hard on their stories, thinking about casting, positioning objects, and moving them around the table. So great to be working in Sri Lanka and Nepal even if it is via zoom.
Have a nice week everyone.
Another week down of our Table Top Stories project!
We’ve covered dialogue, names, & how objects move. We talked about cutting things that aren’t ‘tableplay’. We explored improvisation & simplifying language to let the stories speak.
