The workshops that Kri Foundation undertakes are aimed at building audiences, promoting new art forms, creating awareness around important issues pertaining to the arts and society, and at empowering artistes. Some of the workshops include

• Impressario Representation in the US:
  This lecture cum workshop by Jody Kaplan ( of Jody Kaplan and Associates) at The Attic, New Delhi opened the way for Indian performing artistes to understand how the entire system of impresarios works and how they must package their publicity material so that they can make a breakthrough internationally on the main circuit.

• DanzLenz:
  As a familiarization activity for Danzlenz, the Festival of dance films and video dance, Kri Foundation has conducted ten workshops in Film schools, colleges, Cultural Centres, Film Festivals and on public platforms around India. A two day seminar was also conducted at the AJ Kidwai Mass Communication Research Centre, Jamia Milia Islamia, New Delhi in which Indian and international film makers making films on dance, participated.

• Pushing Frontiers:
  In this series we aim at demystifying new forms and techniques in the arts, for both, the practitioners and consumers of arts.  For example, as an Ancillary Activity for the Video arts event by the Netherlands Embassy late 2004, we did a series of workshops for students of Multi Media, in collaboration with the Embassy and with the help of visiting Video Artists.

  As Kri Foundation is working with incarcerated communities, it has conducted visual and performance arts workshops in Tihar Jail, along with An Association for the Scientific Research on the Addictions ( AASRA) an NGO that has been working in Tihar Jail since 15 years.
