Join us on a journey through a landscape of satellites, elephants, and ancient folklore, exploring how we might "reconstruct" the human body to predict extreme weather. Think folklore, mountains, mangoes, and cyborgs. 🥭🤖 Early Warning System | Agat Sharma 📆 When: Tue 21 April (Try-out) Wed 22 April (Premiere) ⌚Time: 20:00 📍Where: Frascati Theater, Amsterdam By: @athisownpace Thinking with: @laura__boser @sipansezgin Scenography: @selinalosa Sound: @george.deme.triou Lights: @jacopo_ostuni Communications: @yeah_ma_knee Supported by: @atd_lectorate @afk020 @frascatiamsterdam

Can we turn our bodies into advanced technological sensors that can predict earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis? Early Warning System invites you into a strange landscape consisting of satellites, sensors, elephants and sages. A landscape cohabited by cutting edge technology and ancient folklore. Where the human body is reconstructed as an advanced technological sensor forecasting extreme geological and weather events. Where distant pasts and futures are imagined through stories of mountains, mangoes, cyborgs and more. Caught in loops, shifting between dreamscapes, together we figure out what it means to be human in the near future.

Can we turn our bodies into sensors that can predict earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis? Early Warning System invites you into a strange landscape consisting of satellites, sensors, elephants and sages. It's where technology meets folklore. Set in the context of climate change, the performance reconstructs the human body as a sensor forecasting extreme geological and weather events. This is juxtaposed with an old folk tale, where an elephant's dance created an earthquake. The show is a journey, where we dive into emerging technology, and contrasting philosophies, challenging what we know and how we think. It is the discomfort before an epiphany. The ideas are explored in a dream-like landscape that leaves you wondering, "how did I get here?" And eventually becomes a beckoning to the audience to tune into the dance of the elephant and become the Early Warning System.

Don’t miss Agat Sharma @athisownpace at Frascati with “Early Warning System” on April 21 & 22. It was an honour to host a previous iteration of this work at our Interspecies Performance symposium in 2024. Excited to see how it is evolving…. 🐘📡

ATD Research Month 2026 - January 2026 - We Gather - Academy of Theatre and Dance We gather with weather - Agat Sharma ~ On Monday 12 January, there will be a public program to share the research of the current ATD artist-in-residence, the theatre-maker Agat Sharma. During this ongoing research, Agat is working with a team of staff and students from AHK and UvA, artists, scholars, programmers and weather experts to explore staging a storm. ~ All are warmly invited to join for the program to participate in the research process and get a glimpse of where the team have got to in their practical investigations so far. ~ Program and sign up: link in bio ATD Research Month #atdamsterdam #research #lectorate #weatherresearch #theatremaker

Join us for the first gathering in ATD Research Month 2026 on January 12, 13.00-17.30 in IDlab where there will be a sharing of the ongoing research Staging the Storm led by ATD artist-in-residence, Agat Sharma @athisownpace combined with talks and discussions with collaborators. The sharing is a first attempt at staging a cyclonic super storm called Amphan which caused widespread damage in India and Bangladesh in 2020. The sharing is structured in the form of five songs (prayers) about the histories of this storm. Through the staging we are trying to find ways of thinking about/with the storm in a world which is being affected constantly by extreme weather events like floods, fires, draughts and storms. All welcome. @atd.idlab @atdamsterdam @atd_lectorate @kunsthogeschool

Something for us to look forward to in January: ATD Research Month is full of interesting gatherings around the research of artists-in-residence, teachers, students and guests including @athisownpace @nitaliemmayyun @viviannedebrito @kaihazelwood @anna_arov @erwin5994 and more. Join us for the public events where we gather around weather, stories, questions and grief.

Amazing workshop by @athisownpace and @sipansezgin from The Absent Academy @w139amsterdam today. As students we were invited to practice drawing the face of the disappeared together - accompanied by deeply affective storytelling - leaving lasting after-images of love, grief and violence - emerging from ongoing research into enforced disappearances in Kashmir.
