Sneha Kappanna

About

My world is built on stories—sometimes I’m on stage, sometimes in a noisy circle with kids, other times leading a workshop. At the heart of it, I’m always learning and passing that along. Whether I’m telling a story or acting, every session is my way of connecting with people.

For Kids (My Kuttis!)

For children, I work with Ramya Srinidhi to create playful storytelling spaces. Under Katha Corner, we don’t just read stories - we act them out, sing, use puppets, and throw in a bit of chaos. Expect Indian folk tales performances, stories of Ganesha and Shiva, and even our own musical shows. Our monthly ‘Kathayana’ sessions at Kappanna Angala are open to all, and we also pop up at festivals and schools.

Every summer, I run Summer Sail, a children’s theatre workshop (ages 7+). We do theatre games for kids, character work, crafts, and it all ends in a proper stage show. The best bit? Watching the kids own the spotlight.

For Adults

I act too—like in ‘L.S.D’, a Kannada comedy where three women keep the laughs and satire rolling. Sometimes I tackle heavier roles, from historical to full-blown dance dramas. Keeps me on my toes.

Sharing What I’ve Learned

I love running movement and character workshops for older kids and fellow artists. I teach what I’ve picked up over the years, always hoping to spark that same excitement I feel.

Kappanna Angala, my little auditorium in JP Nagar, is where most of this magic happens—a home for stories, theatre, and new ideas.
