Rehearsing roles from the classics
Workshops have become a norm during the summer when children have their school holidays.
The field is throbbing with activities as children indulge in serious acting, soaking in the nuances of theatre.
This is a typical buzzing theatre workshop conducted by the National School of Drama. Children are seen rehearsing roles of characters from Tagore’s work. The plays produced at workshop will be showcased in the Capital from June 18 to 23.
During the workshop three productions are prepared based on the plays of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore as a small tribute on his 158th birth anniversary.
Theatre allows expressing yourself and gives you that confidence. It also improves the sense to visualise the world creatively, which helps to sharpen the skills, say experts.
