“All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That’s what makes theater live. That’s why it persists.” – Stephen Sondheim. The training session on ‘Theatre in Education’ was conducted by Mr. Sanjeev Johri on 19 September 2023.The session began with an Ice breaking activity, wherein teachers had to use one prop using anything but depict its actual use. In another activity, story making was conducted, where one statement was given to a participant and others were to reiterate the same and how the communication changes towards the end of the activity. With the help of these activities, teachers could step out of their comfort zone and also experience how to incorporate their imagination and creativity in their classroom teaching. The activities were based on experiential learning so that they could understand the concept of competence, team building and leadership skills. It focused on bringing in the concept of theatre in simple classroom teachings.
