Street theatre in India is a well established ancient art form. Despite the proliferation of modern means of entertainment and communication, street theatre continues to flourish in India. Street theatre as a channel of communication has for centuries been propagating reforms by highlighting social, economic and political issues present in the society.

Unlike in the olden days, its performance is no longer restricted to villages or small localities of the city. Today, small groups of performers including students, would stage performances to mobilise public opinion or to help create or raise awareness over a particular issue of public importance.

Themes on substance abuse, AIDS awareness and domestic violence are some of the areas highlighted by contemporary street theatre troupes. Unlike regular drama, street drama employs very little props and images. The human body becomes the main tool in which choreography, mime, dialogues, songs and slogans are extensively used.

Street theatre is one of the most intimate media. Its appeal is to the emotions leading to quick psychological impact on audiences.
