Since 1993, when Maya made her first solo, she has created different kinds of productions ranging from dance theatre to cross media and comedy. She is her own director and the centre piece of her making process is improvisation. Over the years, she has invited other artists—musicians, film makers, props designers to improvise and create shows with her. There’s generally a strong social and political thread that runs through the content of her shows. Kathakali, which she trained in for several years, has been an inspiration in creating a contemporary language of theatre. Maya has been commissioned by festivals both in India and abroad to create productions.
