Arnav Roy's Company Details
Hi. We are Kaivalya Plays.Kaivalya Plays is a Delhi-based collective of independent theatre practitioners led by Varoon P. Anand as its Artistic Director and Gaurav Singh Nijjer as General Manager. Registered in New Delhi as a society since 2013, Kaivalya Plays has strived to increase the presence of women in theatre, mentor new talent and design innovative experiences for spectators. Over the course of six years, they have worked consistently, been very noisy, and built associations with the institutions all across India. Since 2012, the team has worked with many diplomatic institutions like the Embassy of Spain and Instituto Cervantes, Embassy of Argentina, Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhawan in Delhi and Bangalore, among others, to produce cross-cultural theatre productions in English, Hindi, and Spanish. The team has also undertaken a slew of community-building initiatives through theatre training workshops, dramatized readings, installations, festivals, and more.At Kaivalya Plays, their artistic training is grounded in spontaneous improvisation (or improv theatre, as we know it better). They are one of India's foremost improv teams. Their improv group CueLess improv was one of Delhi's first improv teams and became the training ground for a generation of improv performers and heads of new teams. CueLess stopped performing short-form shows in 2018 to focus on the applications of improv in areas other than comedy.
