Studio Safdar

Studio Safdar Studio Safdar is an independent, non-funded space for arts and activism.

Studio Safdar was established by India's pioneer street theatre group Jana Natya Manch in April 2012. In last two and a half years it has become an adda for theatre groups from Delhi and outside where they can rehearse, perform and conduct workshops. The space is dedicated to encourage engagements with community groups, to foster a culture of understanding and cooperation, aesthetic excellence and

intellectual stimulation. It has established itself as an adda for theatre wallahs, a space to experiment fearlessly, a space for edgy, creative and even dissenting ideas. The space is run by the Studio Safdar Trust, and the Trustees are:

Shubha Mudgal (President), Moloyashree Hashmi (Managing Trustee), Joyoti Roy (Treasurer), Ram Rahman, Keval Arora, Surajit Sarkar, Praveen Vadhera and Sudhanva Deshpande (Executive Director, Studio Safdar).

Details of our first course will be shared soon!

And It's a wrap. We have successfully completed our 3rd edition of Shadipur Natak Utsav.
The children of Shadipur were thrilled to watch a variety of plays. We thank all the teams who have come to perform here.
The festival could not have been possible without our heroes on ground, our volunteers, who not only helped us to organize it smoothly but made a bond with kids that the children will cherish deeply. We thank them all.

'Hil Mil Kar' is based on Pancha-tantra's Mitrasamprapti, originally told by Pandit Vishunu Sharma.

It’s an ancient tradition based on hearing and internalising knowledge. Instead of shastras or books it is based on stories through which all knowledge is explained and shared and teaches us to live with harmony, bliss and love .

Let's watch 'Hil Mil Kar' together on 24th September at 3 pm and 6 pm.
