About the facilitator:

Anurupa Roy is recognised as a major creative force in Indian Puppet Theatre. She has received professional training in the art of puppetry from Dramatiska Institutet, and in 1998, established her troupe, "Kat Katha". She has directed over 15 shows for children and adults ranging from the Ramayana and Mahabharata to Shakespearean comedy to the Humayun-nama. A major aspect of her work is using puppets for psycho-social interventions in conflict areas like Kashmir, and raising awareness about HIV/AIDS and gender issues through her creations. She is also a recipient of the Ustaad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar in Puppetry (2006).
