KURINJI
Kurinji is a home for storytelling that crosses continents, cultures and generations.
We develop and present theatre, film, dance, books, music and more.
Led by artist S. Shakthidharan, our key focus areas are South Asian stories and work that breaks new ground in storytelling.
We have deep, close co-producing partnerships with key arts institutions around the world – collaborating across the full cycle of a project, from inception to release.
We’re growing a global ensemble of world-class South Asian heritage artists; and providing pathways for local emerging practitioners to showcase their talents at the highest level.
Our work garners critical, commercial and community acclaim. It is simultaneously political and personal; at once for the mind and the heart. Our work has forever changed the Australian arts industry and now we are beginning to share our model more widely, both in Australia and overseas.
Our home stretches from western Sydney to the Blue Mountains in Australia: the lands of the Wangal clan of the Dharug Nation, of Dharug and Gundungurra Country. From here, our stories travel out to a global audience.
Our director is S. Shakthidharan, and our founders are S. Shakthidharan and Aimée Falzon.
