Pitara with Antara- Freedom For The Young Minds

 

16th August 2020

Freedom in The Young Minds

A simplified narrative of India’s Independence movement, presented in a fun shadow theatre form

Pitara – a box that opens you to new things each time you look in! Explore, imagine, make, move, do, dance, sing, speak, and get as adventurous as you wish! From the unpredictable chaos comes new learning, so be prepared for a surprise each time!

Pitara desires to bring the magic of Thematic Theatrical Stories. A story well told can enliven:

 

• The senses
• Stimulate imagination
• Encourage curiosity

Let us recreate stories with props, puppets, music, dance, role-play, and movements.

 Schedule of the workshop:

 

• A warmup session – Yoga/fun movements/drill etc to open the eyes and ears!
• A brief introduction to the concepts.
• Introduction of the illustrator.
• The story presented in a theatrical style with props/masks/puppets/sets
• A song along with easy movements to bring them back to the space – they usually drift away!!
• A Picture book for the children to express/form the story or a sing-along book done in a “repeat after me” fashion with home-made musical instruments.
• An activity around the theme where children create something crafty to enjoy after the workshop.
