ArtKhoj has joined hands with story researcher and theatre practitioner, Vikram Sridhar for these engaging sessions. Sridhar feels categorising storytelling based on self-explored connections with the art form helps in finding targeted audiences across interests. “Workshops ensure that the sharing of art flows as a process, and survival is also taken care of. I went ahead with this long but broken-down concept, as participants have often come back to me saying they can’t attend a two-week long session. In this case, they can pick the session they like and be available on that day.”

As the facilitator, Sridhar will be guiding narrators on topics such as singing a story, ethological stories and their creation, antagonist stories and wordless stories. “Our grandparents would tell a story in a sing-song way. People are enthused to find their tone of folk singing through storytelling,” he adds. Commenting on the purview of antagonists he explains the plot of a story doesn’t solely stand because of its protagonist. It does because of the antagonist, too. “The segment will teach the basics of character-building. We will learn how to add life to the least important character, and how to peer into an antagonist’s psyche,” Sridhar elaborates.

Participants need no prior experience to join the workshop.
