The Jambudvipa Association for Indian Arts – JAIA – represents a collective of emerging Asian-Australian artists engaged in the development and presentation of contemporary and classical work in South Asian dance theatre, music and art. Jambudvīpa (Sanskrit: जम्बुद्वीप) is one of the seven original continents of Earth, as identified in the Puranic texts of Hindu cosmology, and represents the physi

cal terrestrial land. Jambu, as named after the Jambu trees which abound on the land, and Dvipa, meaning Island, this is the only place where humans live, a place where enlightenment can be reached. Established under the patronage of the celebrated dancer, choreographer and cultural pioneer, Dr Chandrabhanu OAM, JAIA is an organisation born of passion for classical art-forms and heritage cultural practice, with an intent to empower current and future generations of artists to explore, develop, engage with and present original works to new audiences across Australia. Inheriting the legacy of Dr Chandrabhanu’s vision for South Asian dance theatre, the members of JAIA are dedicated to best-practice artistic standards and performance technique and seek to create and uphold professionalism in South Asian dance theatre and arts practice.

And went away.

Too afraid to stop her.
Damn me! My wanton ways
Made her leave in anger."
