The Workshop is specially aimed at youngsters who will be introduced to a new way of approaching theatre and drama. Based on a movement module rather than a text module, it will help youngsters understand the difference between text and performance and the connection between the two. The group will focus on “doing” rather than learning or theory-based drama.

The Weeklong workshop will explore physical theatre and the relevance of language and text.  The exercises and movements are aimed at stimulating the imagination and creativity. Improvisations based on concepts and thoughts and the ability to create from an idea rather than a ready text will form the crux of the Workshop.

The workshop will focus on theatre exercises, movements and games for anyone interested in exploring the field of acting or performance. It will also help in enhancing your everyday life skills (no matter what your vocation) and the capacity to be imaginative and creative.
