Characters on stage are the powerful medium to narrate any story to the audience. But everytime it is not important to tell audience everything, sometimes the movements and the expressions can make great work.
Sanghmitra Bankar, dance instructor at Jawahar Bal Bhavan was addressing a two-day workshop on body movements and expressions of a character.
The workshop began on Monday at Jawahar Bal Bhavan. The workshop was organised by Modern Theatre wing of Jawahar Bal Bhavan. In this workshop, the participants learnt about the expressions and body language to portray any character on stage.
The little kids had participated in the workshop wherein they were explained about different characters including animals and human characters portrayed in any play or performance.
Sanghmitra said from an early age if they learn this art the children can make their performances more powerful. Besides, when they will reach at a point where they will decide to become theatre actors they be truly get refined with this art. This workshop made them enjoy the classical dance in a different aspect as no particular form was expressed, rather the students learnt about different expressions and body movement forms.
She added dance is a way to keep the body active. The main motive of this workshop was to enhance different expression movements among children as well as the face and body expressions.
This workshop would help children to participate in various theatre activities as well.
