They say Kolkata knows how to revere art, creation, language and their deep attachment to the city. The Creative Arts Academy found its home in Kolkata over twenty years ago. As we complete more than two decades of our existence, we are glad to have created a new inclusive and fully-equiped arts space for people of all genders, age groups, communities, economics backgrounds and special needs - An 'Artshiyana' for everyone.
The Creative Arts Academy and Testimony Arts have been selected as Grantees for the Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants 2021-22 for their collaborative project 'Arts Alive'.
‘ARTS ALIVE’ β The Arts, The Artist and The Times, is a webinar series curated by Ramanjit Kaur (Founder Director, TCAA, India) during the pandemic. The first six episodes of this series brought together artists from South Asia and worldwide to investigate, analyze and archive the global artistic activity during the pandemic.
‘The Australian segment of this series will be co-curated by Kaur and Tammy Brennan (Artistic Director, Testimony Arts, Australia) and will bring together art practitioners from Australia and worldwide to look into the dialogic intersection of different artistic disciplines (Music, Dance, Theatre, Visual Arts, Film Making, Literature, Arts Management, Curation of Festivals and Funding) in the international cultural context.
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.

TCA has always proven to be a pathbreaking arts organisation, with brilliant productions like 'Beyond Borders' !

We are deeply thankful to @calcuttatimes The Times of India and @sundas.jawed for the wonderful article published on the auspicious occasion of Durga Puja, a time when the Goddess is celebrated in all her glory and power.
In response to the challenging times, The Creative Arts is proud to present our latest production βUnMasked,β directed by the visionary Ramanjit Kaur, in collaboration with Imran Zaki and FACES. Thank you for your constant support. This Site-Specific Studio Theatre experience creates a tension-filled, claustrophobic atmosphere, where with the shutters down, the audience finds themselves trapped alongside the actors, heightening the drama of what unfolds.
As Ramanjit Kaur aptly puts it:
βWhen times are tough, our masks of perfection come off. Then what stories unfold, who knows?β
We are incredibly grateful for the creative contrbutions:
- Ruhani Singh: Associate Director
- Pt. Tanmoy Bose: Music Design
- Daulat Vaid: Light Design
- Asish Singha: Choreography
- Hrithik Chakraborty: Installation Art
A special thanks to our dedicated actors, who juggled work, studies, and family commitments to immerse themselves in the creative process. Through days of tireless effort, they forged a collective narrative that is now ready to be shared with the world.
Weβre grateful to our Sponsors for their support, without which this production wouldnβt have been possible - Hammer, UMR, BlueSky Educstion, Alara Fashions and Gift Partners - Wholistic You, Vedamorph, Nuvique
