Aditi Venkateshwaran

Aditi Venkateshwaran is a contemporary performer — an actor, dancer and a vocalist with a keen interest in storytelling, writing & travel. Trained in both Indian Classical dance form of Kathak as well as Hindustani Classical music, Aditi has worked in the performing arts field since she was a child. She is currently the Artistic Director of IAPAR (International Association For Performing Arts and Research, Pune India) and is involved in creating performances, curating workshops, artistic exchanges and international collaborations in the field of performing arts.

She has been awarded the Pandit D.V Paluskar award by the Sharda Sangeet Academy, Mumbai for Kathak as well as the “Rangasetu” Fellowship by the Maharashtra Cultural Centre, Pune. Her work traverses between the traditional and contemporary and she’s very inclined towards discovering an interdisciplinary approach to performance practices in her country. She looks at people around her for inspiration and is deeply interested in the stories we have to share. Feminism, interpersonal relationships, children and the interconnected-ness of science, philosophy and arts govern her curiosities at the moment. 

Aditi is a recipient of the Tan Chay Bing Education Fund Scholarship and a beneficiary of the Möbius Fund, a revolving loan fund for actor-students.
