WORKSHOPS for CHILDREN and YOUNG PEOPLE

Storytellers’ StudiOH

Writing Workshops for 15 and above! 

We’ve been stuck inside for too long, right?
Our adventures are limited to discovering half-eaten food in the refrigerator or to those in our favourite shows and books. Well, it's time to dive into the stories you want to tell, stories that stay in your mind as ideas that you wish to write.
Here's a window for you. Storytellers’ StudiOH is conducting writing workshops for beginners to let their creativity flow. Senior citizens and students are especially encouraged to attend.

Limited seats, so grab yours soon!

STORY TRAIN
*If your child loves stories, then this is for them!*
Story Train is storytelling of course, but so much more! 
In addition to sharing stories, we try to understand the characters, their goals, and what they’re trying to teach us.  Our goals are to instill a love of reading and to develop humane qualities among the children. It is an appreciation of the fact that each one of us is entirely unique in the world– there will never, ever be another person exactly like any one of us. That means all of us have something important to contribute. And it all starts with a story!

Magic and mayhem all through November!









Gillo Repertory Theatre's
MISTER JEEJEEBHOY AND THE BIRDS English, 45 min
Suggested age 4 years to 10 years



Originally commissioned by the Kala Ghoda Children's Literature Festival as a part of the KALA GHODA ARTS FESTIVAL 2012 in Mumbai

Story by Anitha Balachandran
Published by Young Zubaan

The story:
Two siblings, one very strange Aunt, and a flock of escaped birds... Magic and mayhem comes in unexpected shapes and sizes to one small corner of a very big city.
Each part of this spectacular story by Anitha Balachandran will delight and amaze children. Together with the delightfully quirky text, this unique story brings to life the wonders of our city and the world seen through the eyes of these two - rather special - young children.
Mister Jeejeebhoy... has been performed in Mumbai, Kolkata, Pune and Bangalore, at schools, literature festivals and in theatres.
