DakshinaChitra
conducts regular workshops for adults which highlight art,
craft or folk performing art forms.
Some of the workshops we have conducted
in the past are:
By conducting these workshops we hope to give a new lease
of life to the traditional craft and art forms of India.
The
workshops encourage the practicing artisans and introduce
urban participants to a variety of traditional skills through
which some are able to create contemporary creations.
DakshinaChitra recognizes the
important role played by teachers in shaping the future
leaders of our society. And we have realized that teachers
are the ideal path to include arts and craft awareness in
schools.
We therefore have planned a series of workshops that equip
teachers with skills based on craft art, story telling practices
which they can use while communicating to students.
Workshops have centered on puppets as teaching aids, yoga
& meditation skills, scientific and traditional toy
making, medicinal plants etc.
We could arrange similar workshops for members of a school
on request.
