We are The Ariels
Named after a spirit of shapeshifting in Shakespear’s ‘Tempest’, discovering new forms, and of transforming ourselves with every story we tell. In contextualising and shifting shapes, we come closer to finding ourselves, our voices - as students, as artists, as women, and most importantly, as humans. For us, theatre is both knowing and not knowing. It is worship. It is the courage to make mistakes, to fall, to rise, and to learn again. With a steadfast commitment to keeping the spirit of student led theatre alive, we create, direct, and produce our plays with honesty, heart, and collaboration at the core. Our work in productions like Dopdi 2024–25 and Lights Out 2023–24 not only represent who we are but also stand as testaments to our evolving voice. Our annual fest, Vaudeville 2025, became a landmark moment, celebrating the pulse of Theatre of Resistance and pushing the boundaries of what student theatre can evoke and achieve. It was not just a festival, but a movement of voices, ideas, and stories that took our shared ideals to another height.
So therefore:-We are The Ariels. We shape-shift. We fall, rise, and create. And through it all, we keep the heart of Miranda House theatre alive and beating.
