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!

We asked our women students to complete the sentence:
"Through my art, I reclaim..."
And their answers were nothing short of powerful.

From reclaiming freedom and confidence to reclaiming joy, identity, and strength—art becomes a medium through which they redefine their stories, break societal molds, and stand tall in their authenticity.

This Women's Day, we honor every woman who has ever used art as a tool for rebellion, healing, and change. Because when women create, they don’t just make art—they make history.

On this International Women’s Day, we don’t just celebrate women—we honor their voices, their struggles, their survival, and the art that carries their stories forward.

J’ai un Bleu (I Have a Bruise)—by Laura Kenyon & Sara Maurizi—wasn’t just a contemporary dance performance. It was a pulse, a breath, a collective exhale of pain and power. A language spoken through movement, where every trembling hand, every collapsing body, every rise and reach told the stories of women who have fought to be seen.

For 30 minutes, the stage became a place where bruises weren’t just marks—they were maps of resilience. Where silence wasn’t emptiness—it was a canvas for movement. And then, we sat in the stillness that followed. We listened. We held space for each other. Because healing isn’t just about survival—it’s about being witnessed, about being heard.

This Women’s Day, let’s move for the ones who came before us. Let’s speak for those still finding their voices. Let’s remember that art is not just expression—it is resistance. And every step, every gesture, every breath is a revolution.

An Evening Woven with Words, Music & Love ❤️✨

Love speaks in many languages—a poem, a song, a shared laugh, a quiet pause. At our Open Mic, "What’s Love Got to Do with It?", we witnessed love take shape in the most unexpected, beautiful ways.

Through poetry that stirred souls, music that carried emotions, and stories that felt like home, the night became more than a performance—it became a feeling. A space where love was raw, real, and unfiltered.

A heartfelt thank you to our curators, Ramanjit Kaur & Baisali Chatterjee Dutt, and every incredible artist  who made this gathering unforgettable. And to our audience—you didn’t just listen, you felt.

Here’s to more nights of art, connection, and stories that stay with us.

E in THEATRE – Express, Evolve, Empower.

This #InternationalWomensMonth, we celebrate the women who Express, Evolve, Empower—who turn a stage into a revolution, a script into a mirror, and art into a force of change.

Throwing it back to The Dice of Desires cast, where stories weren’t just told—they were felt, lived, and owned. Because theatre isn’t just about performing—it’s about breaking barriers, rewriting narratives, and taking up space.

Here’s to the E in THEATRE. Here’s to women in art, women in theatre, and women who make the world their stage—unapologetically, brilliantly, eternally.
