TESTIMONIALS

I have been closely associated with The Creative Arts Academy for brilliant productions like 'Simayon se Parey', 'Beyond Borders' and 'The Dice of Desires' and I have always been spellbound by the way TCAA contributes towards the growth of every single artist, whether they be children or adults. I am absolutely certain that TCAA will continue to be an inspiration to many generations of students like always.

TANMOY BOSE

TCA has always proven to be a pathbreaking arts organisation, with brilliant productions like 'Beyond Borders' ! They have been the beacons of conceptualising new initiatives like Dramebaazi International Children's Theatre Carnival , connecting people from all over the world, even during the pandemic. With the Academy, TCAA is sure to pave a new path in the arts, igniting fresh minds and bringing communities together!

USHA UTHUP

The Creative Arts Academy is a dynamic organisation which has been working constantly during the pandemic. From script writing to voice modulation from storytelling to mental health, the range has been staggering. Keeping young people curious and active during dark times has been truly commendable.

NEELAM MANSINGH CHOUDHRY

The Creative Arts Academy is a prime Arts organisation, doing much work in the arts scene including training, curations and production. 'Dramebaazi', their flagship festival mentors the young generation to become future Creators and Professionals. Their organisational skills are truly commendable!

An artist’s work is a mirror of the society they live in. 

At The Creative Arts Academy, we are proud to channel this through our latest play “Unmasked”, which echoes the voices of women standing against power and patriarchy. 

As we approach Durga Pujo, a time to celebrate strength and resilience, let’s empower women around the world to unmask their true potential.
