"GAYA is the place where great memories are made. You'd fine warmth and comfort within your new family. No matter how small your role is, you will come out saying "This is a moment of my life I will never forget". One caveat though, the post production blues can last for the longest possible time."

"GAYA has always taken a special place in my heart. From joining GAYA for the past 3 years, I learnt that people come and go; however, the GAYA spirit has always been successfully passed down and maintained. Watching all members working hard, building this strong community, has indeed been satisfying and a memorable experience."

"To me GAYA is a pure cultural experience and an effort towards perfection. Personally, the most memorable experience I've had is to be moved to tears with the intensity of a self composed song and dance performance in the 2014 production and to come to the realisation that I am working with some of the most dedicated and talented people I know. I also felt very included and cared for off-stage (as a non- Indonesian) and got to know many amazing people. I am proud to have been a part of GAYA and have thoroughly enjoyed it. "
Vinusha Venkatesh
Gaya 2014 Singer
"The last cue was given. All sorts of emotions were overwhelming meas Kak Albert offered to take over and asked us to go on stage. When I reached the stage and heard my name was called, the thunderous claps and roars from the audience and the happy faces of my performers reminded me of why I came back again as Stage Manager."
Sasha Tjahjadi

Gaya 2014 Stage Manager
"GAYA will show you how much you can stretch without breaking, that your perseverance will be fruitful. No matter what your role will be in the production, it will always plays a part to paint the bigger picture. It’s definitely a ride worth taking to reflect on yourself, your dream and the people around you. When you look back, the relationship that is forged throughout the process will be as valuable as the lessons that you learn."
