Curious Seed, Scotland  collaborated with ThinkArts in  October 2017 to connect teenagers in Kolkata with dance practitioners  to share their creative processes  with them, for their new dance theatre project, “Teenage Trilogy”.  The intergenerational production  explores the challenging transition  from childhood to adulthood, the  teenager being at the cusp of the  two inevitable phases of life. The  work hoped to express voices and  experiences from many places and  people. Working with dance and  movement, the workshop, led by  Christine Devaney of Curious Seed,  also included sessions of  conversations and exchanges  about what it is to be teenager in  the present times and remembering  past teenage times.

This experience  led to a bigger partnership project  between Curious Seed and  ThinkArts, “Teenage Times Remix  Kolkata”. This collaboration was  supported by British Council  Scotland, the Creative Scotland 
partnership as part of the British  Council UK-India Year of Culture  2017. In March 2018, Christine Devaney along with Hendrik Lebon worked with 16 teenagers, 3  dancers and a visual artist to  present a performance where the  young participants told their own  stories about depression, weight  issues, unrealistic expectations from  parents, stress, mood swings, peer  pressure and much more, through  dance and choreography. The  residency and training took place  over a week and the performances  were staged for parents and other  audiences on 29th and 30th March  2018 at the Modern Academy of  Continuing Education (MACE) and  the Harrington Street Arts Centre,  Kolkata.
