The experience of this health crisis and the lock-down has been life altering. It is indeed a challenging time to be a teenager. As schools and activities move online, there is a desire to make sense of how everything is changing and will change in the days to come. Theatre has always been a strong tool for expression of political and social changes within a community. Why not use it to create your very own performance diary of sorts?

Theatre artist and educator Saudamini Kalra takes students through various modules on fundamentals of theatre acting, movement, scene creation and storytelling to be able to express the experience of the pandemic in each one’s own unique voice.

The workshop will culminate in live online performance sharings by each participant!

From

10th to 16th August

Timing

5.30 pm to 7 pm Monday to Friday | 11 am to 12.30 pm on Saturday & Sunday
