We are facilitators, artists and experience builders. We create opportunities for re-connections, learning and dialogue. We believe that there are ways of learning, working and being which are co-operative, engaging and inclusive and Purple Mangoes is an effort to create such opportunities more available. We do this in four ways:
Purple Mangoes Facilitators

Sukhmani has been a theatre and clown practitioner for 20 years. Her work as a clown performer, director and facilitator is centred around creating experiences for people of all ages that sparks play and joy, enabling them to be real and authentic and have deep, transformative connections. Having shared her clowning gifts nationally and internationally, she has directed several clown and theatre productions which have been performed across the country. She uses ‘non-serious’ playful practices to explore ‘serious’ themes like identity, grief and conflict. She has worked as a facilitator for over 15 years, working with activists, professionals, children, educators and creators, organisations and communities. The core of her work is to assist others in releasing shame and practice self acceptance. She believes that playful practices are powerful entry points for moving through conflict and connecting with your own sense of magic, moving from scarceness to abundance.
She has worked with and mentored several organisations in India that work with youth and children around gender, sexuality, active citizenship and sustainability. She has also taught clowning in Institutes like National School of Drama, Tripura and Srishti Manipal Institute of Design, Bengaluru. She has been a co-founder of social change initiatives like Cafe Kaffee Kuchh, India Youth Jam and India Arts for Social Change Jam that use art to challenge notions of activism and how we bring change in the world. She has been a Berkana Institute and Open Space (CCDS) fellow.

Vibhuti is a natural learner at heart. Loves to follow her curiosity and dives deep into whatever captures her creativity and energy. She has found a deep passion in clowning and loves to be her authentic self with the red nose. She is exploring other methods and ways to express herself more. In her usual days, she travels for work. Is a freelance facilitator and designs various programs related to alternative learning and un-learning. She also loves to travel because she gets to eat amazing new food and hear lots of stories. Shifting from a urban based,outward looking life to a simple inwards looking life in the hills is what is on her mind presently.

Vibhuti freelances with many organisations as a facilitator and Purple Mangoes is one of them.
