Where stories
come alive
and tradition finds its stage.
Jagali Artspace draws its spirit from the timeless traditions of Indian theatre, music, and dance. Like the village jagali — the sacred gathering space where stories were shared, performances unfolded, and communities came together — our space celebrates the living heritage of performance. Founded in 2006, Jagali Artspace has trained over 20,000 students and brought the magic of classical performing arts to more than 30,000 audience members. As a holder of the Indian Book of Records, and having worked with institutions like RMS International School and Apollo NPS, we carry forward the Parampara with devotion, discipline, and creative fire.

Our Programmes
From Our Jagali to Every Stage — empowering students through Theatre, Dance, Music, and Integrated Learning Experiences.

Performing Arts Education
Structured, grade-wise modules in Theatre, Dance & Music from Grade 1 to Grade 10. Our curriculum is carefully sequenced to match the developmental stage of each child — building foundational skills in early grades and advancing to full performances in higher grades. Integrated seamlessly into the school academic calendar.

Theatre in Education (TIE)
Theatre cultivates voice, expression, empathy, and imagination. Our TIE programme nurtures confident performers and reflective learners. Students explore Voice & Body Techniques, Mime & Improvisation, Storytelling & Monologues, Scriptwriting & Stage Design, Costume Crafting, Theatre Games, Folk & International Theatre Traditions, and Performance-Ready Productions.

Dance in Education (DIE)
Dance enhances physical coordination, creativity & cultural awareness. Our DIE programme blends classical discipline with modern flair — spanning Indian Classical (Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi), Regional Folk (Garba, Bihu, Kolata, Dollu Kunita), and International styles (Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, Salsa, Afro, Hip-Hop, Latin, Flamenco, K-pop). Also includes Choreography, Dance-Drama Integration, Yoga & Body Conditioning.

Music inspires joy, discipline, and emotional intelligence. Our music programme introduces students to melody, rhythm, and cultural richness — covering Vocal Training (Folk, Classical & World Music), Instruments (Keyboard, Guitar, Drums), Rhythm Circles & Percussion Games, Musical Storytelling, Soundscapes & Voice Modulation, Global Musical Cultures, and Stage Performances integrated with Theatre.

Voices from the Sabha
My daughter has been training in Bharatanatyam here for two years and the transformation has been remarkable — not just in dance, but in her posture, confidence, and focus. The gurus here genuinely care about each student's growth.
We invited Jagali Artspace to choreograph our school's annual day production and it was nothing short of spectacular. Students performed with a maturity and grace that left parents speechless. Absolutely professional from start to finish.
The Yakshagana workshop was an eye-opening experience. Sunil Raay's teaching is patient, meticulous, and deeply rooted in tradition. I came knowing nothing and left with a genuine respect for this magnificent art form.
As a principal, I am very selective about cultural partners. Jagali Artspace exceeded every expectation — on time, incredibly organized, and the children absolutely loved their Kathak workshop. We have booked them three years in a row.
The summer camp was the best decision we made for our son this vacation. He went in shy and came out glowing — performing on stage in front of 200 people at the closing show. The team here works magic with children.
I enrolled for the Carnatic vocal masterclass not knowing what to expect. Bharath Akira's sessions are extraordinary — he explains ragas with such clarity and warmth that even beginners feel at ease. My voice and understanding of music have grown tremendously.
What sets Jagali apart is the heart they bring to every interaction. From the first enquiry to the final bow on stage, you feel looked after. Their passion for preserving Indian classical traditions is truly infectious.
Jeevitha Ravi Gowda's teaching philosophy is rare — she combines classical rigour with genuine joy. My teenage daughter actually looks forward to practice every week. That says everything about the culture this institution has built.
Meet the Gurus
Masters who breathe life into tradition — five visionaries preserving the sacred thread of Indian performing arts across generations.
Sunil Raay
A visionary force in Indian theatre and Yakshagana, Sunil Raay has shaped the identity of Jagali Artspace through powerful choreographies that weave epic storytelling with rigorous classical form. His 22 years of devotion to stage craft have produced some of the most celebrated productions in South India.
Jeevitha Ravi Gowda
The heart and soul of Jagali Artspace. Jeevitha's pioneering vision in 2006 transformed a dream of living heritage into a thriving institution. A master of Bharatanatyam, she combines deep classical scholarship with a modern curatorial sensibility that has inspired thousands of students and audiences alike.
Bharath Akira
A distinguished Carnatic vocalist and All India Radio artist, Bharath Akira brings the sacred melodic tradition of South India to every Jagali production. His command over raga and tala — and his rare ability to compose new works in classical idiom — make him an irreplaceable voice in the ensemble.
Guru Moulya
Guru Moulya's choreographic language is a bridge between ancient gesture and contemporary movement. As an Artistic Director, she has helmed landmark productions blending classical Kathak vocabulary with original dramatic narratives — earning Jagali acclaim across the country's major cultural circuits.
Raghuram
A distinguished member of King's Dance Company, Mumbai, Raghuram brings mastery in Western, contemporary, and hip-hop dance to Jagali Artspace. He has led school and corporate productions across India and internationally, with expertise spanning performance choreography, set design, and prop direction. A respected mentor with over a decade of experience shaping the next generation of dancers.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see — and on this stage, the body itself becomes the verse.
