Please also visit the blog www.dastangoi.blogspot.com to learn more about this lost Art of Urdu Storytelling and its revival.
A Note on the Workshop:
The workshop is NOT going to conduct general theatre exercises of voice, improvisation and movement. It is going to concentrate on the history and nature of the form and how best to perform the traditional stories in today's context. Participants are expected to devote themselves to learning and performing the stories which are currently in the repertoire of the Dastangoi performances. The workshop will be conducted free of cost to the participants.
The workshop is supported by the INDIA FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS, BANGALORE.
