An Old Man and a Cat
A performative-storytelling on the magical worlds of books. The sharing (instead of a ‘show’) will also gently place the joys and challenges of being considered different and the pain that is caused by teasing and bullying those of us who do not fit into our common understanding of the world. The sharing features an old man – ‘Sulky Uncle’ and a cat – ‘Manuli’. While Sulky is grumpy and hates books. Manuli is fun-loving and loves books. She also goes ‘moo’ instead of the more common ‘meow’. As the old man and the cat spend time together, a friendship develops, gradually softening the old man's rigid opinions about books and people. The 75-minute, interactive engagement will include three stories from the Sringeri Srinivas series, written by Rohini Nilekani, and published by Pratham Books. Combining theatre, music and audience interactions; the sharing is most suitable for children between the ages of 8 and 10. The sharing is designed to travel to schools, institutions and organisations working with children. Please contact us for more information. |

A few of us have gathered to sing the songs of the 19th century poet-saint Shishunala Sharifa who lived in a little village called Shishunala near Hubballi, Karnataka. The songs are an invitation to play, reason, and imagine. We are travelling with the songs, meeting people, speaking and listening with them about the worlds we inhabit. These sharings (as we like to call them) are happening on streets, at shrines, in living rooms, on terraces, in studio spaces. You can visit our iha blog to know more and write in if you would like to host a sharing for your friends and family. iha means 'currently' or 'at the moment'. |

We are all stories
A theatre based workshop exploring the contours of listening and telling. Through an engagement with individual and collective processes of theatre-making, the workshop offers diverse ways of ‘listening’ to different stories and deepen insights into one’s own personal ‘stories. The work draws from folktales and will involve a little bit of movement, song, doodling, and storytelling. Given the nature of the work, it is best suited for people over 18 years of age. Write to me for more details. |
