“Today we celebrate what you have achieved, look forward to what you will achieve and acknowledge the hard work that has brought you to this point.”  Those were the words directed to a group of developing artists, dancers, dramatists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, creative craft workers and designers by the Institute of Creative Arts (ICA) on the occasion of its Eighth Convocation last Thursday evening.

Together, the four schools of the growing institute initiated into professional practice a graduating class of more than 80 students in a very wide range of creative disciplines. Those four schools are the National School of Dance, the E R Burrowes School of Art, the National School of Music and the National School of Theatre Arts and Drama, which have been offering training through several programmes and courses.
