Updated: Aug 1

How improv theatre is transforming India’s creative culture, promoting fearless expression and boosting confidence off-stage


We are delighted to share this exciting feature on the growing impact of improv theatre across India, with Kaivalya Plays at the heart of the movement.


In a recent article by The Indian Express, Varoon P. Anand and Gaurav Singh Nijjer reflect on how improv is not just about spontaneous comedy—it’s a tool for community-building, emotional resilience, and cultural expression. From introducing safe spaces in workshops to staging multilingual performances that speak to diverse Indian audiences, Kaivalya Plays is proud to be part of this evolving creative landscape. The article also celebrates how improv is being embraced as a powerful practice beyond the stage—fostering empathy, confidence, and courage in everyday life.


Thank you Swarupa Tripathy for this stellar documentation of our work and other collectives like Nautankibaaz Improv Collective.
