A View from the Box - The Podcast
It's Episode 22 of A View from the Box - The Podcast and it's my final Fringe Feature! Today, I'm talking to Sanskruti Marathe who is performing in TWO shows at the Fringe: "At the End of Kaliyuga" and "Temple of Desire"
Sanskruti Marathe is an Indian Canadian dancer, actor and writer with a BFA with Honors from York University's Acting Conservatory. Her journey in the arts began with dance, sparking a lifelong dedication to mastering both classical and contemporary forms. For over 17 years, Sanskruti has trained extensively in Indian Classical Dance, completing her Bharatnatyam Arangetram and currently pursuing her Kathak Vishaarad under the mentorship of esteemed gurus. Driven by a passion for connecting communities through culturally informed storytelling, Sanskruti’s work continues to inspire audiences of all ages, bridging the traditional and contemporary to create meaningful artistic experiences. Her notable works include At the End of Kaliyuga, a compelling solo children's theatre production that seamlessly integrates the elegance of Indian classical dance with the expressive artistry of clowning. This production was showcased at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival and is now scheduled for presentation at the Toronto Fringe Festival. Additionally, she co-wrote Shuth Chondi Hai (The Roof is Leaking), a thought-provoking play exploring the quiet endurance and unspoken sacrifices of Punjabi/South Asian women that hold their families together, which will be presented by Pleiades Theatre at Berkley Street Theatre.
