Amba is an alumnus of LAMDA (The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, London UK). She is a theatre maker, performer, teacher, workshop facilitator and director.
She hopes to create theatre that challenges and investigates our times. What is the world and what our place within it, is the question she aims to continue to explore with and through her work.
Amba continues her overseas collaborations in the UK and US. Her recent work during the pandemic in 2020 includes a virtual theatre experiment – What you will – a devised show in collaboration with The Shakespeare Ensemble, UK. And more recently in 2021, Interwebs, a project built in collaboration with Walkabout Theatre, Chicago with whom she has been working regularly in the US over the last 4 years.
For close to a decade now Amba has been conducting workshops for both adults and children and has also been a regular visiting faculty at DSM, Mumbai, where she taught Shakespeare in Performance.
