Empowering Educators: Theatre in Education Workshop Highlights
On 29th May 2024 Mr. Yugesh Ramachandran and Ms. Indulekha from Crea Play conducted an inspiring workshop on "Theatre in Education," empowering educators to utilize theatre and participatory drama techniques for teaching curriculum subjects, addressing social justice issues, and shaping attitudes. The workshop skillfully facilitated group cohesion through engaging activities like 'Catch My Name' and 'Quick Gun Murugan,' fostering collaboration and a sense of safety for learning. This interactive approach proved more effective than traditional introductions. Participants also benefited from practical exercises on voice modulation, body language, improvisation, and collaborative storytelling. Understanding the role of learning aids was emphasized, aiding in personal growth, social education, and language skills development. Moreover, shedding performance inhibitions equips learners to confront challenges confidently in their careers or entrepreneurial endeavors. The overwhelmingly positive feedback underscores the workshop's transformative impact.
