Explore a realm of cunning creatures, heroic stories, and fantastical experiences! In this fun and creative workshop, we’ll explore Indian folk stories from the Panchatantra, Jataka Tales, Folktales from India, and more. 

We will act, dance, imagine, and even rewrite them in addition to simply reading them! You’ll transform classic stories into brand-new productions by using role-playing, theater activities, and imaginative storytelling. Prepare to think, laugh, and view these old tales in a completely different light. Who knows what you’ll discover?

This event is part of the Family Day.
