• One week since #JourneysBySAPAN and we are still reeling from all the support and love from our friends, family and audience! We want to thank everyone who made this story a reality over the past few months - we couldn't have done it without you all! We genuinely hope that you all came out with a new perspective about the common issues that South Asian Americans face and how it can shape each person's journey differently. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The journey doesn't end here, we hope you continue thinking about and discussing the sometimes difficult topics presented in the show (and continue supporting the #sapanjourney at future performances 😉) #sapansunday #sapanluv⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ 📸: @harshhappens

  • Officially 2 days away from completing our #JourneyToJourneys. Today's artist spotlight is on Ameya! Ameya, a #doublethreat, is a resident dancer and actor. He has been on SAPAN since 2013 and #JourneysBySAPAN will be Ameya's third SAPAN full company production. Ameya is excited for everyone to see the many of the theater elements that are a huge part of Journeys; almost every piece in Journeys has a theatrical component and we are excited to push our artistic bounds not only by mixing music and dance with theater but also as artists, developing our acting to accentuate our art. 🤗 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Come watch Ameya and the rest of the SAPAN Performing Arts Company at #JourneysBySAPAN, a SAPAN original production exploring a series of South Asian American experiences through music, dance and theater. theater.

  • We are only 4 days out from #JourneysBySAPAN! Meet Chirag, a resident dancer and actor on SAPAN! Chirag joined SAPAN this past fall and Journeys will be Chirag's first full company production. Chirag's favorite style of dance is bhangra - he loves how fun and energetic of a dance style it is! Chirag hopes that everyone who attends Journeys this Saturday will pay close attention to the mental health piece within the show; he thinks that this is definitely an issue within the South Asian community and that it deserves to be spoken about more openly. By participating in Journeys, Chirag has learned many new styles of dance and is excited for you all to come and see the show.. stay on the lookout for this Journeys #dad 😉⠀ ⠀⠀ Come watch Chirag and the rest of the SAPAN Performing Arts Company at #JourneysBySAPAN, a SAPAN original production exploring a series of South Asian American experiences through music, dance and theater. theater.

  • Only 5 days left on our #JourneyToJourneys! Today's artist spotlight is on Nikhil Baviskar! Nikhil has been on SAPAN since 2014 and #JourneysBySAPAN is his third SAPAN full-company production following #ForcesBySAPAN and #FractureBySAPAN (not to mention the countless gigs and musical showcases he has been a part of). Nikhil is a resident musician and actor, while also serving as Marketing and Music Directors. Having been trained in American Classical and Hindustani Classical music, Nikhil has been singing for as long as he can remember, and even participated in musical theater throughout high school (in preparation for his current music/theater combo in SAPAN of course!) 😉 When Nikhil was younger he thought a lot about what ethnicity he would want to be if he wasn't Indian-American. Despite this, he always came back to the realization that he wouldn't change anything about who he was (at least ethnicity-wise...he claims he's still a work in progress but we all think #NikiB has it together; what would SAPAN be without him!). He attributes this to his parents, who, as immigrants in a strange land, still made his world familiar and welcoming. Just like many of us on SAPAN, he is incredibly grateful to his parents for the choices and sacrifices they made, and hopes children and parents alike will relate to the plethora of different pieces in Journeys! ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Come watch Nikhil and the rest of the SAPAN Performing Arts Company at #JourneysBySAPAN, a SAPAN original production exploring a series of South Asian American experiences through music, dance and theater. theater.
