Shubhra Tandon

Shubhra is on her journey to become a performing artist with her interests in theatre, Kathak and singing. She was a part of Abhivyakti—the dramatics society of Indraprastha College for Women, Delhi University between 2001 and 2003. She acted in several college productions that used techniques and methodologies from the genre of third theatre. These productions were adaptations from stories of Mahasweta Devi’s Budhan, Vishakhadatta’s Mudrarakshasa and Gulzar’s Khauf often interspersed with poetry from Paash, Dhoomil, Faiz Ahmad Faiz and Ghalib. Later, she also worked in a solo production highlighting the challenges of fisherwomen in Kerala, which was an adaptation from Matsyaganddhi written by Malayalam playwright M. Sajitha. Shubhra is now performing in her first professional theatre production with Kaivalya Plays.

She is also learning Kathak and has given several Kathak performances since the beginning of 2023. She recently scored a first division in Kathak from Prayag Sangeet Samiti Allahabad in the first year examination, and is also pursuing her passion for singing.

Shubhra is currently working as a freelance business content writer to keep her creative self alive.
