Panaji, September 2026: Serendipity Arts Festival has announced an open call for Folios of Time 3.0, commissioned by Serendipity Arts for Serendipity Arts Festival 2026, a contemporary dance residency curated by choreographer Ashley Lobo. Originally conceived by Jayachandran Palazhy for the Serendipity Arts Festival 2024, the programme supports emerging contemporary choreographers through mentorship, experimentation and artistic exchange.
The third edition will focus on refining works already in development, with structured mentorship and critical feedback to help artists strengthen their practices. Three choreographers from across India will be selected to develop and present original 15–20-minute solo works, culminating in a premiere at the Serendipity Arts Festival in December 2026 in Goa.
The programme is open to Indian residents with at least five years of choreographic experience who have not participated in previous editions of Folios of Time.
Applications close on 11 September 2026.
Applications can be submitted via the Serendipity Arts Festival website.
The eleventh edition of Serendipity Arts Festival is set to take place in Panjim, Goa, from 13th-20th December, 2026.
