Sphoorthi Vision and Mission :

  • Sphoorthi Theatre for Educational Puppetry, Art & Craft STEPARC is established under the Society's Act of 2001, Government of Andhra Pradesh. Sphoorthi Theatre-STEPARC is committed to the revival, conservation, and promotion of the traditional art of puppetry, which occupies a vital position in our nation's rich cultural heritage. The organisation diligently endeavours to impart knowledge on the art of Puppetry, emphasising 'Puppet Building' with 'Trash Gold'. This initiative aims to mitigate the decline in waste disposal in our environment, promote the upcycling of refuse, and install a sense of responsibility in individuals to embrace the principles of refusing, reusing, recycling, and reducing dry waste destined for landfills. The objective is to elevate the quality of life for students, individuals, the community, and society through the incorporation of critical thinking in the development of products that are neglected, repurposed, improved, and more. This objective is realised through the incorporation of "educational puppetry" within a well-established academic training framework.
  • This collaboration involves educational institutions, cultural institutions, and NGOs that share a belief in fostering traditional performing arts, assisting artists and our nature. Fundamental to the vision, will strive to create an open platform to preserve, maintain and support the tradition of puppetry art by reaching out to all the like-minded individuals, professionals, art lovers and amateurs.
  • To inspire, inform, nurture, and empower learners, audiences, artists and the growing numbers of people of all ages and from many different communities who amalgamate with us to take part in our mission.
  • To earn recognition and distinction as a "CENTER OF EXCELLENCE" for imparting life skills, soft skills, communication skills, management skills, and moral and cultural skills.
