Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a journey through the intertwined emotions of love, identity, and home. Shila, an Indian immigrant artist, reflects on her experiences in New York City while holding onto her deep connection to India. As she stands at the crossroads of two worlds, Shila navigates the complexities of cultural displacement, the evolving meaning of home, and the vulnerability of love.
Through poetic monologue and the soulful echoes of India through her lens, Shila invites us into her inner world—a place of longing, resilience, and quiet strength. She questions societal expectations, confronts the isolation of being an outsider, and finds solace in the memories of her roots. Ragas Of The Rooted Heart is a tender exploration of what it means to create a life, a home, and a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar land, all while staying open to love and the unknown.

For our final playwright interview in the 2024 Audio New Play Festival, Adam and Budi sit down with Sneha Sakhare to discuss her audio play 'Ragas of the Rooted Heart'.
Sneha is an actor, singer, writer, voiceover artist, and teacher from Yavatmal, India, currently based in New York City. Her work is deeply rooted in ‘Prasada Budhi,’ which means a mindset of thinking that everything is a divine offering with whatever is presented to us, shaped by her spiritual background in Yoga through her father and the teachings in Vedas.
As an actor, Sneha is a classically trained clown with intensive four-year training with her teacher-mentor Christopher Bayes at the Pandamonium Studio. She has also been trained with Aitor Basauri (Clown, Bouffon), Jim Calder (Intensive Acting, Commedia), and Budi Miller (Balinese performing arts and mask work) in Bali, Indonesia. Sneha has completed her 1-year acting conservatory program at The Barrow Group theatre company, Manhattan, 2017-18.
As a singer trained in Indian Classical Music for almost a decade, Sneha as a bhajan (devotional song) singer has been offering her performances at numerous spiritual centers, pilgrimages, and temples in India. She has received many prestigious accolades like ‘Singing Idol’ and ‘Voice of the Region’ through which she performed on National television and had experience performing in concerts in front of thousands of people in various cities of India.
Sneha received her Bachelor's in Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering from India and worked for 4 years as an engineer where she created corporate theatre performances immersed in music and corporate theories.
Sneha has been awarded multiple scholarships as a performer which includes a one-year full scholarship by Christopher Bayes at Pandamonium Studio in 2020, ‘The Eugene O'Neill Scholarship’ in 2021 at Oneil Theatre, Waterford, CT, and “A distinct 2-year fellowship from Lin-Manuel Miranda and the Miranda Family for emerging artists of color who have exhibited exceptional passion, drive, and unique points of view in various artistic mediums – including but not limited to theatre, dance, film, visual arts, and music – and is actively working to expand her professional development,2021-2023”
She has written and performed original works like ‘Pandemic Chapati’ and devised a piece called ‘Glimpse’ in collaboration with Global majority artists for Rattlestick Theatre Company, New York City in 2021.
Currently, Sneha is on her one-year apprenticeship program as a teacher with Christopher Bayes at the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale University, New Haven, CT, and at the Pandamonium Studio, Brooklyn, for the year 2023-2024. At present, she is developing a solo woman show under the mentorship and direction of Budi Miller, supported by the Lin Manuel Miranda Family Fellowship, set to debut in New York City in 2024.Support the show

In the final book club episode of the year, Adam and Budi discuss 'Touching the Rock', by John Hull.
Hull was born in 1935, in Corryong in the state of Victoria, Australia. Following a first degree at Melbourne University and an early career in teaching, he studied theology in Cambridge, UK, where he remained, working as a teacher, religious educator and theologian.
As a religious educator Hull was influenced by extensive study in the complimentary disciplines of psychology, anthropology, sociology and politics. He presented an inclusive and pluralistic religious education as a critically open study which he believed should be seen primarily as a ‘gift’ to students’ personal and intellectual development.
In 1980, Hull lost his sight and for the last 35 years of his life was totally blind. He wrote extensively about the experience, including reflections on how blindness had changed and deepened his faith. His book, ‘Touching the Rock’ was the basis for an award-winning film, ‘Notes on Blindness’, which came out after his death.Support the show
