Bangalore little theater is a 50 year old group that consists of passionate people coming together, without any formal training, just to have fun! As the group became bigger, so did their area of interest. One of their biggest areas of interest was training and development in experiential methodologies. So they decided to take this forward and target the base of the society - the children.
They introduced these methodologies in schools to give them a creative learning and to stimulate multi-intelligence development. Every year put up a mixed age group play and their funds go to a particular place. This year it is the Association for the Mentally Challenged.
A very good point she made was that a lot of people are doing what Iam but it has gone unnoticed because it is not structured. Most of it is intuitively done with children without any training. (They are training people to follow a structure in this field.) hence projects need to be backed up with research and facts.
She also introduced me to concepts like the Pygmalion effect - Robert Rosenthall, and enactment versus experience.
