Prayukti Arts was founded by Nitya Narasimhan, who serves as our artistic director. Named for a concept meaning “motive” or “consequence”, Prayukti was created to nurture a community for the arts across the Bay Area through Indian classical dance classes and performances, and movement-based community events. Through our varied programs, we provide artists, audience and students a common platform to meet, connect, grow, collaborate, and discover. We are driven by the belief that art is for everyone. Our goal is to help our community members discover their unique connection to the arts - and, in doing so, to themselves. This, in turn, nurtures meaningful, long-lasting relationships and supports our vision of a strong, unified community brought together by a shared love for the arts.
