Prayukti Arts

Information

Prayukti Arts was founded in 2017 by Nitya Narasimhan, who serves as our artistic director. Named for a Sanskrit concept meaning “present thoughtfully” or “movtive”, Prayukti was created to nurture an intentional community for the arts across the Bay Area through Indian classical dance classes and performances, and movement-based community events. 

With our vantage point in South Asian art traditions, and our base in the dynamic Bay Area, we are uniquely poised to build an extended cultural and artistic community. Our programs invite artists of diverse backgrounds and art-enthusiasts, from anywhere in the world, to engage with, and create art that interfaces thoughtfully with South Asian arts. You bring your art, and we’ll bring resources, community, and open arms.
