Atelier is presently working on these projects:
Stage Adaptation of Tagore's GORA - Performances on March 2,3 & 4, 2012, 7pm at Ashok Amphitheatre, Hotel Ashok, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi
Script & Direction: Kuljeet Singh
BACHPAN - Children's Theatre Festival
April - May 2012
“Knowledge is accumulation of the past: Learning is always in the present”
"Avant-Garde"
Avant-Garde is an International Experimental Theatre and Music Festival by Atelier in December 2012.
This festival represents a pushing of the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm or the status quo, primarily in the cultural realm.
The basic idea is to invite theatre groups who are endeavouring to explore old/new themes/subjects with radically fresh treatment.
Documentation: "Campus Theatre Traditions"
We have initiated a two year long project "Tradition, Continuity & Change: Study of the Campus Theatre Traditions in the campus of the University of Delhi".
The purpose of this study is to examine the dynamics of this kind of theatre being performed in the campus (here, University of Delhi) and to see what has gone into the construction of these historical/cultural/traditional formations. The theatre tradition emerging out of the campus as an alternative space (cultural region), which, like the transitory nature of a student in the campus, is contested and in continuous flux. This ambivalent-yet-vibrant status of break and continuity of this theatre tradition is remarkable vis-à-vis the mobility of the students with every new academic session. The continuity and discontinuity of the students lead to a new set of refreshing, revitalising and rejuvenating dynamism in the tradition.
ACT Fest - Atelier’s 6th Campus Theatre Festival 2012
New Delhi. Mumbai. Bangalore. Kolkatta .Ahmadabad. Chandigarh. Lucknow
Atelier’s Campus Theatre Festival is the talk of the town now.
Started in 2007, this initiative by Atelier Theatre Society has come of age. With more than 150 performances by 2500 artists and 50,000 direct audience till date, this movement has done what it had meant: channelizing the energies and creating the connect. Arts and Culture scenario with special regard to theatre and performing arts is the most happening thing in Delhi in general and on the campus of Delhi University in particular and Atelier humbly concedes the contribution to the same.
With ACT 2012, we are in the 6th year and 6th episode of this Youth festival. In 2010, we took the festival to Mumbai and invited international teams to be a part of it. iN 2011, this festival toured Bangalore and Kolkatta as well, in addition to New Delhi & Mumbai/Pune episodes. The format remains the same: specific focus on emerging groups from Campus of the particular city where the festival is taking place and inviting thespians to add value to the endeavour.
The New Delhi episode of ACT Fest 2012 is from October 21- November 3, 2012 at Kamani Auditorium and the University of Delhi.
Festival Director: Kuljeet Singh

This production is tentatively slated for September 2012 at Kamani Auditorium.
