Children's Theatre Workshop : "Chhuti"


Yesterday the children's theatre workshop "Chhuti" went underway . This is the first of its kind by Blank Verse . A 6 month long workshop where children will be mastered in the art of acting , music ,singing ,dancing , magic , hand crafts and drawing . The work shop will ultimately culminate into a theatre production involving these kids . The work shop "Captain" Mr. Raja Bhattacharya was happy with the proceedings today ."Applications are pouring in , and we are happy how things are shaping up for us . The kids are our future and we need to nurture them from now on .Their creative spaces have been shunned today ,they need a space , a time to breathe and live in their own way and "Chhuti" will provide that space for them . "

Yesterday in the interactive session with the guardians and the kids that Blank verse organised, three and a half year old Upalabdhi Karmakar stole the show . She is the youngest to join the "Chhuti" wagon and she enthralled the gathered party with a Rabindra Sangeet too!!!

Looks like "Chhuti" is underway in a grand style and as Mr. Prabir Das ,the treasurer of the repertory was mentioning " We may have to start two batches , if the number of applicants  increase further ,already it has surpassed our expectations. "

The young brigade of the Blank Verse  repertory was seen running here and there to comfort the guardians and the kids who gathered for the homely interactive session at the Blank Verse's rehearsal space at Cornfield Road .
