In today’s virtual & technology driven world, students are losing touch with their emotional and physical selves. A healthy mind needs a healthy body!
The PlayTime workshop is an invitation to the magical world of the body & expression. As well as being exhilarating fun, it will contribute towards better coordination, agility and poise while allowing the children to channelize their enormous energies.
In a non judgmental and stress free environment, students will learn exercises involving Movement, Sensory Awareness, Imagination and Group Dynamics; also using music with basic props & costumes.
PlayTime proposes to enhance the creativity and individuality of each student with the collective responsibility of ensemble play.

In our current age of instant texting and tweeting, young adults are losing the real sense of personal contact. Good speech is the unfortunate casualty!
The PlayAct workshop is a visual enactment language based approach, to explore the sensual world of the spoken word. The sensory act of listening attentively enables students to speak with better clarity and aids comprehension in a way that passive reading cannot.
The students are encouraged to present select passages while engaging physically and emotionally with the rhythm & meaning of the text. Drama techniques are used to discover context, situation and motivation.
PlayAct intends to create awareness and appreciation for works of eminent writers, focusing on the beauty of language & power of communication!!
