BIO

Manjari is a performer, director and Theatre facilitator with over a decade of experience. She is a graduate of the DUENDE School of Ensemble Physical Theatre (2015) and holds a Master's degree from The School of Arts & Aesthetics, Jawaharlal Nehru University (2010). She is the founder member of a Delhi based Theatre collective called Improper Fractions and a Theatre Facilitator with Aagaaz Theatre Trust. She works extensively with children, creating work for and with young people in the Theatre. She is dedicated to exploring the incongruous,  disruptive and off-key in Theatre and live performance;  seeking possibilities for intersections and solidarities. Manjari’s area of investigation in performance making lies in anti-oppressive, experimental and movement based work. Most of her Theatre learnings come from peer sharing and community based work rather than institutionalized learning spaces for Arts practices. Gender, sexuality and memory expressed through a personally political lens are leitmotifs in her work.
