There’s something inherently magical about the world of theatre. By allowing the imagination to take flight, it boosts creativity and nourishes the mind. That’s what prompted Sanjna Kapoor, co-founder of Junoon, along with Sameera Iyengar, to kickstart Arts at Play, a series of workshops that aim to ensure that the arts occupy an integral part of children’s lives.

Mind at play
Towards this end, they are organising a series of workshops featuring 18 professional instructors who will teach children to read a story and enact it, analyse scenes from great texts in both Indian and world theatre, learn about sounds and movements to make storytelling fun, train in different forms of Indian dances, turn newspapers into magical puppets and make music out of buttons and sand among other activities.
