Children learnt theater basics in the Saturday’s first session of the Get Set Parent’s Children Art, Literature and Music Festival. Dhanendra Kavde of Swangwale Performing Art and Social Work Committee, explained to children the nuances of theatre. In this session, he talked about object theater and prop theater in which basically one has to tell a story.
To perform object theater one must have to bind to the object or prop. He taught the children about how character building and voice modulation was important to prepare a story. He made characters using a spoon and then narrated an interesting story to the children.
The second session was based on storytelling in which renowned storyteller and theater artist Vikram Sridhar narrated two stories to the children. Vikram Sridhar is also the co-founder of 'Tahato' theater community based in Bangalore. He believes that storytelling is a very good medium of conversation which is very relevant and necessary in the modern context.
