About
Aagaaz is the Urdu word for ‘beginnings’. Operating at the grassroots level, we are a community of educators and arts practitioners, committed to examining and questioning ‘what is’, to inquire ‘what could be’. Aagaaz practices theatre and arts for social action to bridge gaps in learning, understanding the ‘other’, access, and dignity. We create spaces to engage with children and young adults across social and geographical boundaries, to discover ways of ‘act-ing’, with its dual meaning of performing on stage and taking action for self and society. At the core of our work is Aagaaz’s repertory, composed of 11 young actors from Hazrat Nizamuddin Basti who are arts practitioners, theatre makers, and facilitators. The repertory has taken our work to 10 cities across the country and have performed/are performing in prestigious festivals such as Gender Bender 2016, Saharanpur Pustak Mela 2016, The Old World Theatre Festival 2018, META 2019 (we won the Special Jury Award), The Hindu Metroplus 2019, Equal Festival at Ranga Shankara 2019, Ranga Shankara Theatre Festival 2019, Serendipity Arts Festival 2019.
