The DREAM:IN Journey 2011
10 days, 101 dreamcatchers, Hundreds of Places, Thousands of dreams
On the 9th and 10th of January, 11 teams set out by rail and road on the first ever DREAM:IN Journey, to travel across India; through cities, towns and villages to learn about and capture dreams of every kind of India. The teams of dreamcatchers travelled on 11 different routes on a 7 day journey covering over 25000 kilometres over the length and breadth of India, and capturing on camera people’s dreams. (Detailed route map attached, route details below).
The 101 dreamcatchers, students and young professionals from film, communication, design, architecture, management, communication etc. from 19 institutions across India like Manipal University, NID, Srishti, SPA, NIFT, Satyajit ray Film Institute etc. applied for the change to be dreamcatchers on the first ever DREAM:IN Journey. The selected dreamcatchers went through two days of intensive theoretical and practical training in Bangalore on January 8th and 9th 2011, with the unique dreamcatching method, developed by Spread Education and Consulting.
Each team of 10 had a team leader/mentor and 3 dreamcatching teams of a spotter, catcher and reader each with defines roles. The Spotter identifies the people we are looking for, based on a guideline, initiates and carries on the conversation. The Framer captures our dreamer in his context and catches moving footage. The Reader is the writer, who is concerned with catching the right words and therefore, the essence of every interaction, making each one of them meaningful. The Leader Reports mentors the team, reports on the journey and reports back to the Dream Center.

Still in the news
Today, the Commonwealth games 2010, comes an end and with it ends all the speculation and criticism that came our (India's) way over the CWG scandal. Lets just hope our dreamy logo (and the rest of the work we've done as well as the amazing effort by our promising young athletes) live on in our memories for a long time. Idiom is still in the news for the work we've done for the games. A few more clippings from a few newspapers are given below.

Theatre Alive!
In Bangalore, the name 'Ranga Shankara' is synonymous with theatre and the performing arts. The most affordable theatre space in India today, Ranga Shankara is dedicated to showcasing theatrical performances from India and abroad, to producing and commissioning new and innovative theatre forms and productions, and facilitating outreach programmes to build audiences for theatre and to impart theatre skills. So when they asked us to work on their 2010 theatre festival, we were really excited. The festival starts on the 22nd of October and ends on the 1st of November. This year, the theme is 'Folk and Classical Theatre' with the tag line 'Theatre alive!'.
Arundhati Nag, renowned theatre personality and National award winner and also one of the people that heads Ranga Shankara, asked us to create something memorable and unforgettable for this year's theatre festival. So, under Sonia's guidance, and with help from the Ranga Shankara team, the team at Idiom created some unforgettable characters for each form of theatre that will be featured in this year's theatre festival.
The Press conference announcing the Theatre festival was held on the 7th of October. Everyone loved our beloved characters. We were told that nearly every one wanted to take photographs with them. The following day, we brought the characters back home to Idiom, to shoot a few commercials and the masks had the same effect. Everyone in the office was busy taking photographs with these masks.
We kick off our events on the 12th of September and we're also planning to have a banner painting event in Cubbon park, Bangalore on the 16th. We're looking forward to this Theatre festival as this was one of the most fun projects that we have ever worked on. So, we hope to see you at Ranga Shankara between the 22nd and the 1st. Keep watching this space for more on the Theatre festival and there will be an article soon on the different Characters that we have created. Lets all make a joint effort and help Ranga Shankara and Idiom bring Theatre Alive!
