Indian Performing Artistes in Singapore

We have attempted to list on this page, all artistes resident in Singapore who have at least given an arangetram or graduating public performance in some field of the Indian performing arts. This list is obviously not complete. We are awaiting responses from many of the artistes listed below for the contact information, or for permission to list contact information. Some artistes may not wish to have their contact information listed on this site - in those cases and for others for whom we simply are unable to get information as of now, we have just listed the name. If you can get us this information, or if you or someone you know are/is not listed here and would like to be listed, please help us complete our database by filling out this form (Word document) and emailing it to us with a scanned picture at rama@kanakasabha.com. We hope this will be a useful resource for both artistes in finding collaborators and for organizers in locating artistes.

Abbreviations in brackets against artistes indicates that the artiste teaches in that institution. Code list: aa: alapana arts, AA: Apsara's Arts, ICMC: Indian Classical Music Centre, MFA: Mirra Fine Arts, NAS: Nrityalaya Aesthetics Society, PKS: Prenavam Kala Sadhana, SIFAS: Singapore Indian Fine Arts Society, SKA: Singapore Kerala Association, TFA: Temple of Fine Arts.
