Ayatana art gallery brings to life the creative art form of papier mâché with Pune-based Bharati Pitre’s sculptures. A three-day workshop will teach the participants the ancient Chinese art of making and reinforcing objects with paper strips or paper pulp mixed with glue. Pitre,who has been working with the medium for quite some time now,will teach the participants how to sculpt and make fun creative objects with “chewed paper”,as papier-mâché literally translates into. The workshop will be held from April 12 to 14 at Ayatana Art Gallery,12 Castelino Road,Golibar Maidan Chowk,Camp.

Classical Connect

The artistes will perform traditional pieces from the Kathak repertoire such as the vandana,taal and abhinay. Other pieces are based on contemporary dance and music. The style has been choreographed keeping in mind the tastes of the audience as well as learned connoisseurs of the dance form. The event will be performed at MES Balshikshan Auditorium,6 pm to 8 pm.
