Draupadi's Darbar 2.0

Hello!

Welcome to DD's Open Mic 2.0. In case you missed our first one in Bombay here's a snapshot.

DD's Open Mics are a series of in-person events that celebrate women who are breaking a leg in the world of performing arts and entertainment.

👉 Why do we host these Open Mics?

Women they have thoughts and voices and feelings — and a billion more mundane things that make up their worlds.

Commonplace and yet unheard of. They talk of them in shushes and whispered wishes and small frivolous brunches.

Somewhere along the way we stop talking out minds. So much so that it’s often “brave” to talk about things that matter to you. To speak your truth. To use your voice.

And then maybe at a friend’s sleepover or in a meeting or in your journals you use your voice. And make a statement – for yourself or for the world.

And then you realise you've had a voice all along. You just stopped using it.

Our idea with all of DD’s communities is to create a space just like that. To use that voice and talk about things that matter to you – big or small there is space for it all.

Join us on July 6th as we set the stage for women to perform ANY kind of performance art (music comedy sketches a short book reading and more!) in Pune. In short your mic drop moment is waiting for you!
