ESTABLISHED SINCE 2012
Founded by Australian Indian Fijian artists Jade Naidu and Aaron Shiva Naidu, NAIDU Theatre Company is an independent production company creating heartfelt, meaningful performances across the Coast—from Gumbaynggirr Country (Coffs Coast) to Gadigal Country (Sydney).
​
We write and produce original works and compositions, develop new stories from local writers, and stage licensed productions that resonate with purpose and heart.
​
Originally established as Fusion Fabrics for Dancers and Fusion Dance Internships (2012–2016), the vision for NAIDU Theatre Company has long been held by siblings Jade and Aaron. Though Aaron sadly passed away in 2017 before seeing the company come to it's full fruition, NAIDU Theatre Company proudly stands as a tribute to his memory and creative spirit.
