It's time for children
to take a break from the mundane activities.
THIS SEPTEMBER,
DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
Give
your children a fun filled and energetic break. How about
Puppets?
Katha cordially
invites you to the colourful, fun-filled and bright
puppet-making workshop. Noted puppeteer, Anurupa Roy,
recognized as a major creative force in Indian Puppet
Theatre- will conduct the workshop based on two stories
'The Song of a Scarecrow' and ' The Magical Raindrops'
- published by Katha.

Katha, A3, Sarvodaya Enclave
Date: September 6th, 7th, 13th and 14th (4 days weekend
workshop)

Katha
will provide all the material needed for this fun-filled
hand on craft activity.
We believe that
puppets have the potential to make us laugh at ourselves,
can teach principals that might otherwise be difficult
to grasp and help us empathize with others, all while
providing us with entertainment. Similarly, this workshop
will help children become innovative and each child
will get an opportunity to be creative and develop storytelling
and communication skills as they learn to create variety
of different puppet forms.
Anurupa
Roy is committed to innovative and socially relevant puppet
making and has earned a reputation in the circle of puppet
theatre, in India and abroad. She went to study puppetry
at Dramatiska Institute at the University of Stockholm
under the great Michael Meschke, who also taught one of
Anurupa's mentors in Delhi, Dadi Pudumjee. Anurupa holds
a diploma in the Guaratelle tradition of glove puppetry
from Naples. She trained under Bruno Leone, who was taught
by Nunzio Zampella, said to be the last of the old Neapolitan
puppet masters.
