The event is split into story and poetry workshops over two days, at the end of which participants will get a chance to perform their pieces in front of the audience. One such performance by Sriti Jha at a previous session proved so effective that it was included in the platform’s recent show, Coping Hearts CHS at G5A last weekend. “That’s the beauty of these workshops. People discover stories they have within themselves,”  says Anand.

One goal of the exercise is the creative pursuit while the other focuses on community. “Every writer needs their Ron and Hermione; a Fellowship of the Ring, so to say,” remarks Anand. The platform is also looking to take some of these performances to the stage. “That is definitely something we are looking forward to. But the primary purpose is to discover new voices. Often, people have interesting stories to tell, but lack a framework. We help them shape a framework for expression,” Anand notes.
