The Pocket Company was started by Niranjani Iyer in 2010. Collaboration and collective enquiry form the basis of most the company\u2019s work in India and in France.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key example of this is d.r.i.f.t -dharamshala residential & international festival for theatre, a community driven volunteer run project in the Himalayan foothills since 2016.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender-Ventions is another key project which took to the streets of New Delhi after a particularly horrendous incident of violence against women to open up conversations on safe access to public spaces. The desire to engage, dialogue and entertain is the foundation of our work.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

d.r.i.f.t – Dharamshala Residential & International Festival for Theatre is a deeply collaborative festival aiming to create a place and an audience for theater and dance outside of urban spaces. A project very dear to the Pocket company, d.r.i.f.t has successfully brought together, through workshops for adults and children, readings and quality shows from here and elsewhere, the various communities of the Dharamshala region since 2015.<\/em><\/p>
