Editing Rasik Art (section)

== HISTORY ==

Rasik Arts had its birth in July 2000 with the remount of Sally Jones' 1997 production of Nagamandala at the Canadian Museum of Civilization, and was officially incorporated in November 2000. Our inaugural production was Umrao in September 2001. Since then, Rasik Arts has received four Dora nominations and won two Dora awards --the first such awards to be won by South Asians. We pick plays for production that illuminate a facet of the culture from which they spring but also address themes beyond their cultural specificity. Another criterion is that they either challenge Western-held assumptions or confront contemporary preoccupations.
