}}Anuradha Kapur is an Indian theatre director and professor of drama. She taught at the National School of Drama (NSD) for over three decades and was the Director of NSD for six years (2007-2013). For her work as a theatre director, the Sangeet Natak Akademi Award was conferred on her in 2004.[1]

Early life

Anuradha Kapur was born in Nainital in 1951. She is the daughter of M. N. Kapur, the longest-serving Principal of Modern School, New Delhi, and Amrita Kapur. Art historian and critic Geeta Kapur is her sister.[2] After completing her schooling from Modern, Anuradha studied English at Miranda House, Delhi. She obtained her Master's degree in English from the University of Delhi in 1973.

Career

Kapur started her teaching career as Lecturer in English in Delhi University's Bharati College. However, she was always sure that she wanted to pursue theatre as a profession.[3] During her student days, she had been a member of the theatre group Dishantar led by Om Shivpuri, and acted in a number of plays, including Adhe-Adhure by Mohan Rakesh. She obtained leave from the college to study for a Master's degree in Drama and Theatre Arts at the University of Leeds, U. K., where she eventually completed a Ph. D.

In 1981, Kapur joined the faculty of NSD as Associate Professor. She later became Professor, and stayed with NSD until her superannuation. In July 2007 she was appointed Director of NSD for a five-year term, later extended by a year up to July 2013. She was also Chief of the NSD Repertory Company. [4] Currently she is visiting Professor at the School of Culture and Creative Expressions, Ambedkar University Delhi.[5]

Kapur has worked extensively in collaboration with visual and video artists and filmmakers. Some of the people she has worked with are Arpita Singh, Bhupen Khakhar, Nalini Malani and Vivan Sundaram. She is one of the founding members of Vivadi, a working group of painters, musicians, writers and theatre practitioners.[6]
