Chair’s Preface

It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Annual Report of Subrang Arts for the year 2024/25.

Our mission has always been to nurture and promote South Asian performing arts through a diverse educational programme encompassing dance, music, festivals, exhibitions and other cultural initiatives. Over the past financial year, we have successfully delivered a wide range of activities across multiple art forms, made possible through the generous support of funders such as the Jack Petchey Foundation, Croydon Council, National Lottery Heritage Fund and Arts Council England.

We are committed to creating inclusive and participatory arts learning experiences, and we actively collaborate with a variety of venues and community groups. Throughout the year, we have engaged in numerous partnership projects that reflect this commitment. Our work is guided by a dedicated Executive Committee of volunteers whose expertise and passion continue to strengthen the organisation.

The Committee’s creativity, vision and commitment have helped build greater resilience within the charity, supported by stronger governance, enhanced management capabilities and access to new sources of knowledge and guidance

Key Achievements in 2024/25

Our regular dance classes continued throughout the year. We have been able to offer all styles of Indian dance – Bharatnatyam, Kathak, Bollywood and Folk. This has catered for all tastes and attracted people from all walks of life. Through these dance activities, we have noticed huge benefits for people as they have not only improved their fitness and health but have also learnt about their rich cultural heritage.

We continued with the Jack Petchey Silver Achievement Award Scheme. We were able to award three young people for their achievements.

We supported one of our Kathak dancer to do a solo recital ‘Dhara’ at the Bhavan Centre with live musicians. This was a huge achievement by the student . Numerous performing opportunities opened for him after this solo recital.

We invited an eminent Kathak dancer, Dheerendra Tiwari to conduct special kathak workshops for our students.

Another visual artist Janak Chauhan too did a Rangoli demonstration at the Urban Room in Croydon

As part of Croydon Council’s creative wellbeing programme, we conducted numerous craft activities like beadwork, henna, block printing, flower/garland making in various libraries across the Borough.

Our dance production ‘Taaliyo Na Taale’ was launched at Fairfield Halls in Croydon ready for national tour later on.

Following the successful Indo Spanish cross cultural project supported by Croydon Council at Fairfield Halls, we were further supported by Arts Council England to take this production to Watford Palace Theatre. This collaboration explored the intercultural journey undertaken by the gypsy tradition of Flamenco into its Indian roots in an emotional encounter between Flamenco music, voices, Hindustani compositions and Kathak/Flamenco dance. The performance was showcased to a full house at Watford Palace Theatre and received rave reviews. The project was very successful and proved that music and dance can cross cultural boundaries, strengthen cultural relations based on the exchange of ideas, knowledge, work and artistic practice.

Subrang Arts also participated in the Croydon Dance Festival at Fairfield Halls.

We once again collaborated with London Mozart Players for their ‘Changing Seasons’ programme at Fairfield Halls. We introduced flautist Praveen Prathapan to work with LMP’s composer Fiona Brice and they co created the ‘Spring Blossoming’ element of the project. This was a huge success.

Following this, Subrang invited LMP to Braithwaite Hall for the ‘Legacy to Zakir Hussain’ project where Praveen and LMP’s quartet performed. This was then followed by a Tribute concert to Ustad Zakir Hussain by Saleel Tambe and Prakash Prathapan and local students.
