About this collection
We believe in the magic of letting kids own the spotlight. Our 12-day Summer Sail program is not just about memorizing lines, it is about giving children the space to find their own voice through theatre games, puppetry, and character building. By the end of the two weeks, your child will have prepared a full-fledged stage production from scratch—including costumes, makeup, and props—to perform right here at our studio, Kappanna Angala.
What to Expect
This isn't a classroom-style course; it is an active, messy, and loud immersion into theatre. Over our 12-day schedule, we focus on three main pillars:
- Voice & Body: Through daily exercises, we help children work on voice projection and body language, turning shyness into stage presence.
- The Craft: We dedicate specific sessions to making our own props, masks, and puppets. This keeps the kids engaged and helps them understand the behind-the-scenes effort that goes into a production.
- The Production: The camp culminates in a proper show at our JP Nagar studio. We handle the lighting, costumes, and makeup, giving the children a real-world experience of what it takes to put a performance together.
Why Our Approach Works
I run these workshops with Ramya Srinidhi because we want to move away from rigid, competitive formats. We focus on 'kuttis' (kids) finding their natural expression. Whether your child is a natural chatterbox or someone who prefers to observe, our theatre games are designed to meet them where they are. We use folklore, mythology, and simple daily stories to make the characters relatable and fun to play.
