Whether at my JP Nagar studio or a venue of your choice, expect me and Ramya to use hand puppets, live percussion, and interactive theatre to pull your children right into the narrative. We do not use screens; we rely on props, voice modulation, and call-and-response rhythm to keep them engaged for the full 60 to 90 minutes. We believe that stories are the bedrock of who we are. With Katha Corner, my long-time collaborator Ramya Srinidhi and I strip away the digital noise to return to the root of storytelling—the connection between the teller and the listener. Our monthly ‘Kathayana’ sessions at Kappanna Angala in JP Nagar are where this truly shines. These are intimate gatherings where we blend Indian folk tales and mythology with live music and character play. You won’t see passive children here; we encourage them to repeat phrases, learn gestures, and occasionally step into the shoes of characters like Ganesha or Shiva. For private bookings—be it a school event, a corporate 'Sunshine Day', or a birthday party—we bring this entire setup to you. We handle the logistics of puppets, props, and audio, provided you have a quiet space. We deliver in English and Kannada, keeping it bilingual so the nuances of our local folklore aren't lost in translation. If you are looking for more than just a 60-minute distraction, look for our longer immersive workshops. We want children to walk away not just with a smile, but with a deeper curiosity about their own culture and the confidence to express themselves. ## About Sneha Kappanna I am a storyteller, theater actor, and a student of Karnataka's folk traditions. Along with Ramya, I run Katha Corner to keep our folklore breathing through playful, interactive sessions for children and adults alike.
