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.


our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to democratise access to theatre education in India, through a rigorous, high-quality, and fully-funded performance-making training program.
The vision of the Bargad Fellowship is an equitable, diverse, and representative urban Indian theatre landscape, wherein practitioners and audiences are a reflection of the varied cultures, backgrounds and narratives that make up the lived realities in India.
