more spring than paradise

Spring arrives as a festival; a spirited beating of the heart between the sleep and the waking of the worlds we share. Spring Song is our attempt to join that pulse.

Born as the sister counterpart to Autumn Air, this performance series explores the cycles of the seasons through a multidisciplinary lens. The debut of this series, the inaugural Spring Song, took place on February 22nd, 2025, at Brew Casa, Dehradun. Created in a soulful collaboration with Prakriyaa, the evening was designed as a communal ritual of renewal. It was conceptualised and performed by Prashant Nawani in collaboration with Harshita Srivastava (permaculturist and designer), Feruza Abdullaeva (artist and thinker), and Srinjoy Ghosh (educator and psychologist).

What is a spring song event

Spring Song is an open-ended project. It invites artists from every discipline to contribute their “voice” to the season. The experience is woven together through:

• Spoken Word: Storytelling and poetry are interlaced with live music and SFX, turning narrative into a sonic landscape.
• Reimagining Lore: Folk songs from different cultures are recomposed, blending traditional melodies, poetry, and folklore with contemporary arrangements and re-tellings.
• Curated Flavors: Spring’s wealth is tasted through specific spring-inspired foods and beverages.
• Booklet of the Verdant Season: The Spring Song Booklet is a collection of writings, photographs, and artworks brought together in a conversation with the season and its many expressions.

This project is a celebration of collaboration. It is an invitation for artists and audiences alike to shed the dormancy of winter and step into an unforgettable and ephemeral experience of the now.
