Sumanta Sarkar Drama, Actor, Director, Social Activist

He is a socio-cultural influencer, theatre therapist & mentor. Though his professional journey began in the corporate world, after a few years of working he realized his true calling was to work in a scenario where the society at large could benefit. So, 8 years ago, he took a leap of faith and his passion became his full-time profession. Thus, was born UROTAAR (means Flying Message) - an organization that uses the language of street theatre to talk about issues of Environment, Child rights & education, Humanity, Heritage, etc. This has taken him to multiple states of India. He had conducted workshops in collaboration with esteemed organisations like CINI(www.cini-india.org), CRY(www.cry.org), Sanlaap(sanlaap.org), Seva Kendra(www.sevakendra.in), Calcutta Rescue(calcuttarescue.org) & more. While doing street theatre he started realizing how releasing emotions can be a part of healing and started working as a theatre therapist with offline and online workshops - with people of all ages and all strata of society. He is an actor on the side and his acting spiels have helped him unlock emotions which he now pours out in my workshops. Working with people gives him the greatest happiness and enrichment and that's what he wants to propagate.
