Street Drama Training

NRCS Balkot Youth Circle organised a Street Drama Training on 29th-30th may 2009. Myself being the co-ordinator of program. There were altogether 18 participants in the training. The training as a whole in my evaluation was a successful one. All the participants were contented with what they get from the training at the end.

Participants were divided into three groups and given three different themes to write Drama on the spot on day 1 and practice it and show on the next day.

Group 1

Participants practicing their own drama
with the theme of
"Caste Discrimination"


Group 2

Practicing their own drama against Smoking


Group 3

"Dowry System during Wedding"

Great combination of Lunch and Fun

After the Training was over all the participants were supposed to show a Street Drama "Chanamati" with the theme of Gender Discrimination but when they reached the place where they were meant to show their drama, it was the rain that cool down all the excitement of the participants. The continuous rain disrupted the show. Now the participants returned to the Training hall bare handed with hope to show it next time.
