CHANDIGARH, May 22: The month-long community theatre workshop and play production conducted by Centre for Education and Voluntary Education concluded at Guru Nanak Public School, Sector 36 today. Today8217;s play quot;Kukar Da Gawacha Andaquot; was about the adventures of an egg, who runs away from home in protest against the worrying attitude of its8217; parents, the cock and the hen, who would not let it go anywhere for the fear that it would break.
It was based on the children8217;s hostel life and had characters like the school gate and the bell. Interestingly, the children were asked to give a suitable end to the play through the cards which were distributed to them.
The play was a joint effort of 34 hostlers of the school ranging from standard 5th to 9th. This theatre workshop was a part of CEVA8217;s on going project to provide learning opportunity to young hostlers, who find their routine boring. According to Harleen Kohli, a member of CEVA, shy, uncommunicative children were often asked for taking lead in conducting the plays.
Similar workshops have also been conducted at Government High School, Sector 22-D, Government Primary School Sector 33 and Vivek High School, Sector 38.An exhibition showing creative works done by students was also put up in the school.
