About
Theiyā Arts
Our Creative Vision
Theiyā 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.
Theiyā 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.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to foster a vibrant, inclusive arts community that thrives on diversity and representation, providing access and exposure to historically underrepresented art forms and making South Asian Arts an integral part of the Scottish dance ecosystem.
SCHOOL
COLLECTIVE
COMMUNITY
Explore the different forms of South Asian Arts with our comprehensive programme of online and in-person classes. Whether you're drawn to South Asian dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kandyan or Hindustani Classical music and Bollywood, we offer classes to suit all ages and abilities.
You can find us in Edinburgh and West Lothian or enjoy the flexibility of our online sessions from anywhere.
View all classes and locations
Our artist-led collective, established in 2020, develops South Asian dance and interdisciplinary performance work that is culturally grounded and critically engaged. We create new choreographic work, collaborate with other artists and organisations, and bring South Asian Arts into wider Scottish cultural spaces.
Explore the work of the Dance Collective
We deliver outreach and participatory programmes in community settings, working with partners to widen access, reduce barriers, and meet people where they are. This strand centres inclusion, representation, and meaningful local relationships through sessions such as Dance, Yoga and Meditation, all held with an emphasis on accessibility and inclusive participation.

CONNECT
Theiyā Connect is our strand for connection, support, and professional development, creating spaces for artists and communities to build long-term pathways for South Asian arts in Scotland. Our support programme for South Asian arts practitioners offers 1 to 1 mentoring, producing support for individual choreographers, administrative assistance for educators, and opportunities for performance and community engagement

The konnakol you hear in the piece was composed and recited by @anknaarockiam, and the music was mastered by @annup22,
We can’t thank you both enough for your contribution.
Next stop: Prakriti will be performed at U.Dance Festival at Tramway on 4 July.

‘Our communities are like seismic plates shifting and forming new blocs –a mosaic made up of the many shards of our identities, glued together by the sweat and blood of our protesting, rebelling, dreaming, scheming, and organising together, across the arbitrary borders that fail to contain us. It is beautiful, and fluid. This is what liberation looks like.We buoy each other. Separately, we endure, persist, stay alive. Together, we overcome and thrive.’
From the book “Greater than the sum of our parts“ By Nada Elia
