Ameena Barkatullah is the founder and director of KABIRA ACADEMY
School of performing arts.
she is a visionary responsible for the growth of children's theatre in Bengaluru. She discovered a need for theatre and communication development in children as she worked with them.
She started by working with schools to train her students for competitions before becoming acutely aware of the selective nature of the competitions, and realised a need for performance skill training.

She tried to expand the reach of the performance arts and communication skills to a wider part of the populous, in order to foster a new generation of Indian children who would excel on stage.
Single handedly, she created a niche for children's theatre through systematically cultivating a curriculum and tracking the holistic development of children who enrolled for the program. One of the pillars on which this school is built is the guarantee of a world class education in Drama.

Through 15 years of focus Ms.Ameena Barkathullah has created a platform that not only teaches skills, but reaffirms behaviour that supplement the development of a confident, articulate, and fearless generation of Indian performers!
