‘Mirror Image of the Self’ 2016 was an attempt to understand the state of our inner self through the process of weaving stories and crafting properties with chart papers and putting them in scene-wise frames followed with reflections.
The workshop was conducted by Ravi Shanker, a theatre in education enthusiast, stage and voice actor and now a part of India Council for Integral Education (ICIE) as Creative Director for Theatre in Integral Education on October 6, 2016, at the Society Hall in Puducherry, for a group of nine children from Warangal, Telangana.
The varied interactions made us realize how the exposure of television programmes and movies become the sponsoring programme of our consciousness that dictate our feelings, thoughts and actions. Young participants coming from various backgrounds and age groups were put to the question of heroism and what does it mean in its true sense. They enjoyed shedding their inhibitions as their imagination, creativity and confidence grew manifold. It turned out to be a very good learning experience for all of us.
