02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Theiya Arts is a platform to experience, connect with, and participate in South Asian Arts in Scotland. We bring South Asian art forms and artists into communities and spaces where they are unfamiliar or underrepresented, through performance, education, outreach, and artist support. Theiya Arts is built around collaboration, care, and a non-hierarchical leadership model. Our regular programmes support diverse communities of all ages and abilities, while helping South Asian arts grow sustainably across Scotland. We have 4 programme strands: 1. Theiya Arts Dance Collective (TADC): the South Asian contemporary dance company of Theiya Arts. 2. Theiya Connect: support programme to artists 3. Theiya Arts School: week programme of dance classes 4. Theiya in the Community: arts and wellbeing activities
