We identify common interests and find ways by which individuals from within and outside our network can work together as 'collaboratives' on creative endeavors of common interest. We are currently focusing our energies on performance art."
Stray Factory and IndiBlogger colloborated with Chennai bloggers including me to adapt weblogs into stage performance pieces for the event titled "The Great Indian Blogologues". Apparently, this has never been attempted before. 15 final posts have been selected from 1,012 entries! Thanks to Stray Factory and IndiBlogger for this innovative initiative for integrating theatre and blogs.
Visit the Blogologues page for details.
The shortlisted blogs are here and an event link is available here.
