Aditi Jaitly Jadeja serves as the Associate Director – Performing Arts at the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, where she leads the museum’s performing arts vision and programming. Since the launch of the department in February 2023, she has played a key role in shaping KNMA’s performing arts identity, curating Indian classical dance and music, folk traditions, and contemporary performance practices. Her curatorial approach is grounded in respect for artistic process and the continuity of India’s diverse performance traditions.

Under her leadership, KNMA’s performing arts initiatives have become a significant part of Delhi’s cultural calendar. She has conceptualised and delivered programmes including Centre Stage Weekend, KNMA In the Park, The Legacy Series, and the annual KNMA Festival, expanding the museum’s engagement across public spaces and cultural venues.

A trained Bharatanatyam dancer and teacher , Aditi brings over three decades of experience across performance, education, and arts administration. Trained under Leela Samson, she has performed extensively in India and internationally, both as a soloist and with ensembles such as Spanda Dance Company and the Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company, while also contributing to the administration and development of the Spanda Trust and Dance Company. Her multidisciplinary practice is complemented by a strong interest in reading and Indian textiles, which continues to inform her curatorial perspective at KNMA.
