Tushar is an actor-creator, theatre maker, and teacher.
Along with Becca Finney, he is the co-founder of the Otherland Theatre Ensemble, a physical theatre devising company who tell stories of underdogs and outcasts who inhabit outrageous worlds and are moved by universal struggles. Their play Forgive us, Gustavito! which won “Best of Fringe” at the Charm City Fringe Festival in Baltimore, continues to tour.
Tushar’s teaching and creative pursuits largely focuses on movement & physical embodiment, storytelling, and our relationship to the natural world.
He is also deeply interested in how the playing of games acts as a portal towards heightened awareness and intentionality, ensemble building, and storytelling.
Currently, Tushar is working on a solo storytelling show designed for peoples' homes called A Good Neighbour, and a new devised performance that explores the human urge to dehumanize.
Tushar is currently an Assistant Professor in the Performing Arts Department at Emerson College, Boston.
