Storytelling from ancient to now
Rubena Sinha is a storyteller based in Toronto, Ontario, who uses her extensive knowledge and experience of South Asian myth and dance to weave stories of life, love, heros and demons. Using movement and text, Rubena creates a world in which the listener encounters talking animals, her family members, and Gods and Goddesses of the Hindu pantheon. Her stories are often interwoven to incorporate her own personal experience as an immigrant.
Rubena’s work as a storyteller was honoured with a nomination for the Joanna Metcalf Performing Arts Prize in 2025. Rubena also performs with Diana Tso a duet storytelling of Monkey King and Monkey Queen.
