Being a science major and even after spending more than a decade in corporate job,Jayati has always identified herself mostly with music,poetry,literature, movies and yes, theater. Growing up , she has actively participated in various stage activities and found her true passion in writing poems and scripts. Migrating to a different country, meeting people from diverse background and travel for job helped her to find her own words for self expressions. Since 2011, she started to put up theatrical productions in Boston based community platforms where she scripted and directed her plays. Some of her recent work include "Checked In" , "Timepass -jogar e jibon", "Abarta" and "Fail Kara Do Yaro" where she has tried to explore contemporary life and life experiences and human relationships in current time and society.
Through KrossRoads Performing Arts , Jayati not only hopes to give her vision a foundation but also to collaborate and connect with other like minded creative individuals to build something together.
