Thakurnagar Pratidhwani Sanskritik Sanstha is a cultural organisation which was established in 1995 by some aspirant theatre workers and dance performers .
Initially the Sanstha did the activities in houses of our well-wishers and then in 2012 we purchased a plot of land measuring one Katha and build a house for cultural activities and schooling.
The sanstha started with two wings, theatre and dance. In a short period of time it earned recognition in the state Actually a group of youth performed in the theatre team and dance troupe of the Sanstha.
The dance troupe was was trained under the supervision of famous kathak artist, a scholar from Rabindrabharati and the famous Dance Bangla Dance choreographer Sujit The dance practice helped the theatre workers to get physical movement and expression befitting for theatre. For this benefit of theatre the Sanstha started dance schooling, recitation schooling, and art schooling which art forms helped to flourish theatre of the Sanstha.
Since then the Sanstha is running all the schooling and the dance school has nearly sixty students from five to eighteen years of age,fifty students in drawing school, thirty students in recitation school. The sanstha has a professional dance troupe of more than twenty performers.
The sanstha has a mime team and a a group of singers. The theatre workers all get trained from this schooling and who works in theatre the Sanstha provide free coaching in all the schools for them. The sanstha has performed its performance of theatre,dance, dance drama, mime, recitation and singing in all districts of Bengal and also in Delhi for several times, in Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa.
The sanstha every year organises annual cultural programme with the creative productions it makes through out the year that includes theatre, dance (Kathak and folk), dance, mime, recitation and singing and with other theatre teams of Bengal and other states. The annual cultural programme also includes competition of dance, recitation and drawing.
