Testimonials
The Fieldworks residency really helped me be more of an independent artist. Now, I can produce and engineer my own tracks. This will help my creative process as an artist because now I can spend more time making music.
Farhan Ahmed (Agaahi)
Cohort 1
It's been a very interesting experience to learn from musicians that I listen to — get a bit of the insider look into how they approach things. Hearing about the challenges they face, helped me take solace in the fact that my creative challenges aren't unique to me.
Sudarshan Raghavan
Cohort 1
A course like this is giving creators like me a chance to rediscover their artistic selves and parts of their artistic identity. When you are taught by artists, two things are happening: one is that you are being challenged in a healthy way. The second thing is that they know the technical know-how of how things are made.
Sahaya Sharma
Cohort 1
I have loved the opportunity to both learn and deepen my music production skills over the last few months and get the even richer experience of being here in person this week at the residency. To get so much 1:1 time with fellow students and especially with the instructors… That hybrid model of learning has really benefitted me and am sure it would be a great fit for many other creative learners.

FAQs
The Creative Immersion is designed for learners aged 18 and above. There is no upper age limit - curiosity is the only requirement!
No prior experience is necessary. The program is designed as a foundational launchpad, introducing students to creative and technical skills from the ground up — from critical listening and storytelling to industry-standard software.
The program runs over approximately 3 months and totals 86 hours of learning. It is divided into two parts: Part 1 is an online Skill Building phase, and Part 2 is a 7-day in-person Studio Residency at Fieldworks Studios in Goa.
Part 1 involves two online sessions per week, each 75 minutes long, totalling approximately 2.5 hours per week. A detailed session schedule will be shared prior to the start of the program, offering maximum visibility to plan ahead.
Students will work with industry-standard tools including Ableton Live for Music Production, Davinci Resolve for video editing and a selection of mobile apps where relevant.
Students will work with industry-standard tools including Ableton Live for music production, DaVinci Resolve for video editing and a selection of Mobile apps. The program also introduces AI tools relevant to both music and video production.
The online sessions are live and cohort-based, meaning students learn together in real time with their peers and mentors, including a 15 minute live Q&As in every session. We will also record the sessions, so students will be able to catch up in case of missed sessions. However, we do recommend maximum attendance of the online sessions so students can build a rapport with and seek clarifications from their mentors and peers.
The 7-day residential program takes place at Fieldworks Studios in Goa from 6 -12 July 2026. Students design and build an individual creative project of their choosing - such as an original song, a short film, a music video, a podcast, or an audiovisual artwork - with hands-on mentoring throughout. The week culminates in a Final Showcase or Exhibition of student work. A typical day during the residency looks like: 9:30-10am: Day begins at Fieldworks Studio 10am-12noon: Lecture on a variety of topics 12noon - 1pm: Students break out to work on individual projects 1pm - 2pm: Lunch break (Healthy, vegetarian, home cooked meals will be provided by Fieldworks) 2pm - 4pm: Students work on individual projects with mentor guidance. 4pm: Snack Break (Snacks provided by Fieldworks) 4pm - 6pm: Students work on individual projects with mentor guidance.

The Creative Immersion equips students with foundational skills in music production and filmmaking using industry-standard tools, giving them a strong base to pursue further specialised learning, creative side projects, or eventually professional pathways in the music, film, or digital content industries. Beyond career skills, the program is designed to build creative confidence, problem-solving ability, and a healthy, active relationship with technology.
The short answer is: there has never been a better time to be a young creative in India. India's creator economy is currently valued at USD 1.4 billion and is projected to grow at 22.2% annually, reaching USD 5.9 billion in the coming years. 1 in 4 young Indians now prefer new-age fields like content creation over traditional career paths. At the policy level, the Union Budget 2026 marked a meaningful milestone, with the government formally recognising creative and digital media education as essential to India's economic future. The earning pathways are real and varied. A young person who develops hard creative skills today is building a toolkit that can serve them across a lifetime of self-determined work, collaborations, and creative entrepreneurship, with the independence and flexibility not offered by traditional career paths.
