Anuja Ghosalkar

Anuja Ghosalkar is a performance maker and founder of Drama Queen, a documentary theatre company in India since 2015. Her multi-disciplinary practice extends the idea of theatre to create audacious work. She combines performance, visual arts, and critical inquiry, focusing on little histories, archival lapses, counter-narratives, and questions around gender and transnational collaborations. Based in Bangalore, Ghosalkar’s work has been showcased globally, from the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, the University of Hong Kong, and Meta Lab at Harvard, to Frascati, Amsterdam, and venues such as Hebbel am Ufer and Sophiensale in Berlin.

She has collaborated with award-winning theatre companies like Gob Squad Collective and Flinnworks. Ghosalkar's writing has featured in publications by Routledge, Bloomsbury Publishing, Narr Francke Attempto and BioScope: South Asian Screen Studies. Her latest co-edited book is titled Documentary Theatre in India: Assembling Publics, Performing Politics, published by Transcript, Germany.
