Supporting this idea, Dorangos, a Bandra performance space, will host a series of such sessions for children each weekend throughout May. “Parents had been reaching out to us, asking us if we wanted to do open mics for a younger audience, since it could really help boost their children’s confidence,” says Duran Pereira, manager of the venue.

The thought of not putting a cap on the age range, with the youngest performers being five years old, is inviting, too. It opens up possibilities for creative collaborations among friends and siblings. “We’ve seen a girl singing on stage with her elder sister, who was about 20, playing the guitar for her,” Pereira adds, recalling a session they had organised a few months ago.

Children will be able to experiment with poetry, dance, music — any form of creative arts that they’re willing to try. The stage has also witnessed a little rapper delighting the audience with his poem, Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Go to School. Another beautiful thing about these sessions is that there are recordings provided to the parents of the performers after the show; these moments 
become accumulated memories that the children will look back on many years from now and cherish for years after.
