Event Description : Atelier Theatre invites Entries for 4th episode of Bachpan Children's Theatre Festival (April 21-May 4, 2014)

Background : 

Atelier Theatre presents the 4th episode of Bachpan Children's Theatre Festival (April 21-May 4, 2014) and we take immense pleasure to invite your school to be a part of this non-competitive festival where theatre becomes a way of life, much away from the cut-throat competition of the market.

“Knowledge is accumulation of the past: Learning is always in the present” 
Atelier is a Workshop of Communication Enthusiasts which has been in the forefront of devising Creative Educational Programmes and socially relevant plays. 
At Atelier, we have devised and designed workshops on Creative Teaching and Creative Learning, incorporating Drama and Theatre-in-Education techniques. The workshops have been an eye opener for more than a thousand teachers and few thousand students from about 900 schools in India. 
Atelier is also devising Interactive Short Plays for teachers and students which enquire into various subjects like Learning, Creativity, Self knowledge and Communication. Integrating education and theatre, Atelier is eyeing for those who can actually make the difference and we intend to channelize the energies in schools with BACHPAN.

Learning Through Theatre: Theatre-In-Education (TIE) 
The necessity of interactive paradigms vis-à-vis education system in India has been pointed out by many eminent scholars, teachers and educationists in the last two decades. Though, the emphasis on the appropriate model and the process of teachers training had remained the major concerns in most of the debates but diminutive consideration of the model and the training process is been discussed, employed and written about. Creative, as a term has become trite and Interactive is only a terminology used for normative teaching practices, contradicting its own meaning per se.
Within this perspective, this festival would endeavour to nourish Theatre-In-Education (TIE) as a movement and a theatrical method, which formulates the most noteworthy development in contemporary theatre. In a short period of time, TIE has animated and enthused and at times, unnerved actors and teachers alike thereby provided a methodology for Creative Teaching and Creative Learning by creating a bridge between Theatre and Education. In harnessing the technique and imaginative potential of theatre, TIE can provide an intensely absorbing and challenging experience and a stimulus for further work on a chosen subject, be it local history, racism, health or language learning.
