JAMMU, Jan 2: Much awaited Natrang Winter Theatre workshop for children will start Jan 7 at Natrang Studio Theatre.
Giving details Natrang Director, Balwant Thakur informed that this unique camp would provide opportunity to children to enable them to explore their immense inner creative and artistic abilities.
The timings of the camp will be 3pm to 5pm daily and they will have the occasion to get trained under professionally trained directors including accomplished director Neeraj Kant, Anil Tickoo and Sumeet Sharma. Speaking further Thakur informed that in this 10 day winter camp children will learn personality development, confidence building, communication skills, acting, stagecraft and much more with the help of highly innovative creative theatre exercises.
“Theatre is a sophisticated expression of basic human needs. For children it is an instinct to mimic and to tell stories through narratives and metaphors. This innate quality in children is enhanced and polished with the help of theatre. It is vital to understand that when phrases like ‘learning is fun’ and ‘play and learn’ are quoted, we can easily think of theatre as a means to learn in a child’s life,” he further said.
On the occasion, Balwant Thakur informed that interested parents may contact workshop coordinator for details on 9906048670 and 9419106669 and may mail requests at natrangjammu@gmail.com. A short theatre play will also be produced during the course of the training. Children between the age group of 7 to 15 will be considered for this rarest training programme.
