Puppetry Workshop with Varun

I went to Observe and contribute in a Puppetry Workshop in K.R Mangalam world school, conducted by Varun, a famous puppeteer in Delhi. He was teaching them how the make shadow puppets. Today he was teaching them interactions, dialogue, voice of the puppet and mechanism. It was really interesting to see the puppets the kids came up with. He divided them into teams of two and made them interact. He put scenarios and the had to dialogue with each other. The groups kept growing from two to four to six and it kept getting more interesting and chaotic at the same time. There were kids from class 5-7 so it was a mixed bunch. But the class 5 kids did not feel intimidated by the class 7 kids they were putting up a equally good fight. :)
