Renowned Indian television actress and the Founder and
Artistic Director of the Srijon Foundation Mrs. Kamalika Guha Thakurta, has
launched Artscape, an initiative to use her knowledge on music and dance as a
form of therapy. Under the able guidance of Mrs. Kamalika Guha Thakurta,
who is trained in Indian Classical Dance and Music and has been known for her
absolute excellence as an actor in the Indian television industry. The main
objective of this noble initiative is to use art forms as a tool to develop
individuality, communication and social skills. It aims to provide individuals
a great quality of life for people of all ages with a range of needs and
challenges.Sharing her thoughts on the launch of this foundation,
she said, "The idea behind ARTSCAPE is to use the Performing Art Forms as
an alternative approach to recovery, healing and psychological rehabilitation
of survivors of any kind of trauma – physical or emotional.”
One of the initiative under the Artscape foundation is
‘Beyond Academic’: The Arts for Personality Development/Community Building’The emphasis here is to use the Arts, which includes the
disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and visual arts, along with normal
routine education to aim for a holistic development of children and their
personality. ARTSCAPE partnered with the Flowering Tree Inc and the Light of
Life Trust to train children from the Mangaon, Alibagh, Karjat area in Indian
vocal, instrument & dance which culminated in the staging of a musical
drama production “Kalpataru” conceived and produced by ARTSCAPE led by Mrs.
Kamalika Guha Thakurta.In addition to this, ARTSCAPE runs its ‘Care for Cancer
Initiative’, which attempts to integrate a complementary music program in
supportive cancer care which accompanies the medical treatment. Regular Music
and Meditation Sessions are held at Cancer Rehabilitation Homes like ACTREC, St
Judes and Nana Palkar Smriti Samiti. These Sessions are targeted at the
patients as well as the Caregivers with the aim to promote physical and emotional
well-being.
