At the core of the Darpana Academy is a group of highly trained and multidisciplinary artists proficient not only in dance or music but in theatre, the martial arts and other related forms, using many disciplines and many languages. The artists, forming the Darpana Performing Group train and work together everyday and perform either as a group or individually. Performances range from classical and contemporary dance to musical theatre, folk theatre and puppetry, with a wide and varied repertoire.
