Abinaya Jothi

Abinaya Jothi is a theatre practitioner and dancer from Tamil Nadu, India. Her passion for the performing arts was ignited in 2013, during her time at PSG College of Arts and Science.

In her work with various theatre groups in Tamil Nadu, one of Abinaya’s performance highlights was taking part in the play Chandala (the Impure), a Tamil adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, in which she played multiple characters (2018). This performance travelled across India and to Europe for the 20th Bharath Rang Mahotsav, New Delhi (2019), Saarang Theatre Festival, Pune (2019), META Theatre Fest, New Delhi (2019) and Francophonie Festival in Limoges, France (2018). Recently, she wrote and performed a solo piece in Tamil titled Who is to be Sacrificed? as a part of Solo/Oray Aal, a production by Singapore Indian Theatre & Film Explorers (SITFE) that was staged at Esplanade Theatre Studio.

Her hope is to demonstrate theatre's ability to positively impact our world. She also hopes to encourage more women and children to explore the world of theatre, particularly those without access to formal education.
