Grace Kalaiselvi: Bringing Brown Stories to the Stage

Who gets to stand under the spotlight makes a difference. In this episode of The Brown Box, we sit with Grace Kalaiselvi — theatre actor, director and educator. We talk about family, absence and survival, and how theatre became a way to make sense of it all — and how Grace, when she couldn’t see herself in the stories on stage, began creating them herself.🎧 Listen to hear about: • Grace’s early family struggles and how theatre became her escape • Her journey from Tamil theatre to English theatre, and the challenges she faced • Her realisation that there was little space for brown faces in English theatre • The founding of Brown Voices to tell more Indian stories • Her creative process — from idea to opening night • Her most recent play, ‘Invisible’ • Advice to other aspiring actors who want to join her under the spotlightListen now — link in bio.#thebrownboxpodcast #singaporetheatre #sgpodcasts #singaporeartists #southasianvoices Hosted on Acast.
