Profile
Partha is undoubtedly a forerunner in the field of mime in Bangladesh. He started as a musician and his keen sense of rhythm enabled him to let his limbs move and express his surroundings through gestures.
Initally Jogesh Dutta of Calcutta imparted some education in mime craft, but Partha's thirst was for world class artists under whom he could develop. He attended the school of Etienne Decroux, the founder of corporal mime and later he worked with world's greatest mime Marcel Marceau.
Partha's artistic excellence has unfolded during the past fifteen years on the illuminated stages of both at home and Europe and North America. His devotion and sensitivity uplift an ordinary theme to a sublime height.
Partha wrote and choreographed a mimodrama (Cauchemar), in a record time of two months, which was staged in Bangladesh in 1994. This was achieved with the collaboration of different group theatres and professional dancers from Dhaka. The mimodrama concerning child abuse was the first of its kind to be shown on South East Asian stages and its enormous success was acclaimed by the press and media.
Partha travels all over the world to teach the art of mime, organizes workshops with young people and create productions with the attendees.
Currently he is in the process of creating a new episode on the theme of environmental pollution.
Partha also teaches the art of mime to speech-impaired (dumb) people.
