Bargad Theatre fellowship

The Bargad Fellowship is a fully-funded, 5-month intensive theatre training program, for practitioners from historically marginalised communities. Based in New Delhi, Bargad invites applicants from across India to train with leading theatre-makers and develop their performing and theatre-making skills, culminating in an original final showcase. Through play viewings, artist talk-backs, workshops, and six months of post-program support, Bargad empowers artists to pursue theatre and amplify underrepresented voices.
