Interactive Storytelling Sessions for Every Audience

A story comes alive with expression and movement. Here at the Readaboo library in Pune, I am sharing a tale with my whole being. The laughter and engagement from the children and parents is what makes it all worthwhile.

In the Himalayas, at the Chiraag school, the children asked for a ghost story. I began with a low rumble, and soon, we were all lost in a world of monsters and mountains. Their pure, open listening is a gift to any storyteller.

Stories know no age. It was a fulfilling dream to share tales at the Ziva senior retirement community in Chennai. The audience, rich with their own life stories, listened with a depth and wisdom that was truly moving.

Performing for the residents at the Ziva senior community home was a reminder that the human need for stories is timeless. Each listener brings a lifetime of experience, making the shared narrative incredibly rich and meaningful.

A moment of shared gratitude at the 'I play - I learn' playschool's annual day in Chennai. Being with these active, joyful preschool children and seeing them engage with dance and movement was a beautiful experience.

On stage at the Kukdukoo Children's Festival, I shared tales from far and wide. It's a joy to perform for such a large and enthusiastic audience of children and parents, bringing stories from my books to life.

Using a simple puppet, I can speak in many languages, from Gujarati to Tamil. This performance in a library shows how stories can cross linguistic barriers, even if the little fish in the tale are not so sure at first.

With a puppet in hand, I can become any character. Here, I am engaging with a young audience, using simple props to create a world of imagination. These interactive sessions are where stories truly breathe.

The energy of a story is something you feel in your whole body. This is a moment of pure expression, where the tale takes over and I am simply its vessel, sharing its joy and drama with the audience.
