Tiara, Enfiniti Academy founder and Chief Dream-Maker of the Enfiniti Creative Universe said: “Ten years ago, performing arts was not a priority in Kuala Lumpur. Joanna Bessey and I established Enfiniti Academy to provide an avenue where young people can be trained by the best in the industry. We train the young people that we want to see lead our country in the future, whose creative minds will make all the difference.”

Head of Enfiniti Academy and drama teacher Joanna added: “Our focus is on teaching quality performing arts made accessible to students of all ages. We also aspire to be an incubator for future creative thinkers and leaders of our country. After 10 years we see this dream becoming a reality in our graduates.” – Compiled by Rachel Lopez
