## About Hands-On Workshops for All Ages

We strip away the formalities to keep it real. Our sessions are designed as baithaks where we sit on mats, use simple materials like cardboard and socks, and actually build puppets that move. You do not just watch a demo, you get your hands on the glue and scissors to create a character that you take home.

### Why a Hands-On Approach?

Puppetry is not just about the performance, it is about the process of creation. In our workshops, whether you are 6 or 60, the goal is to break down the barrier between audience and performer. By building your own puppet, you learn the mechanics of movement, voice modulation, and storytelling from the inside out.

### Choose Your Module

*   **The 3-Hour Starter:** Perfect for beginners and quick sessions. We focus on creating a functional sock or cardboard puppet. You will learn basic voice tricks and how to give your puppet a personality.
*   **The 3-Day Intensive:** For those who want to dive deeper into engineering. We cover marionette construction, joints, balancing, and stringing. It concludes with a small presentation where you get to showcase your creation.

### Inclusive Learning

We believe in making puppetry accessible. We regularly host sessions for children with special needs in collaboration with organizations like the Snehadhara Foundation. If you are looking for a space that is inclusive, patient, and centered on creative expression, you are in the right place.

We provide all the materials, from upcycled items to heavy-duty supplies. You just need to bring your enthusiasm.
