Interactive Storytelling and Puppetry Workshops
I bring stories and puppets to life, blending fun with learning for schools, teams, and families. Whether it is a STEM lesson or a team-building activity, I create spaces where curiosity thrives.
This is the magic of bringing stories to life. Watch the joy and wonder on children's faces as they interact with my puppet friends during a workshop at Sunbeam Schools. This is what hands-on, playful learning looks like.
A wonderful group of educators at play during a workshop in Varanasi. My sessions for teachers are all about sharing practical, simple techniques to make any lesson more engaging and memorable through storytelling.
It is pure joy to watch kids discover the magic of puppetry. This workshop was filled with laughter, creativity, and teamwork as children learned to bring their own characters to life, building focus and coordination skills along the way.
Did you know a simple folktale can teach complex science? This story about a king and some noisy frogs is a perfect example of how I use storytelling to explain STEM concepts like ecosystems and food chains in a fun, unforgettable way.
I am so grateful for the heartfelt feedback I receive. This note from the co-ordinator at Sunbeam highlights the goal of all my workshops: to create a supportive, fun, and educational environment that enhances communication and storytelling skills.
Meet Kabar Singh the lion. Here, he takes on the 25-language challenge, celebrating India's incredible linguistic diversity. Puppets are a wonderful way to explore culture, language, and learning in a playful, accessible format.
Puppetry has a special power to connect and heal, especially in places like hospitals. In this clip, my frog puppet shares a silly rhyme and a moment of laughter with a young patient, showing how a little bit of play can brighten a difficult day.
About this collection
Every session I run is improvised based on the energy in the room. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all scripts, so whether I am in a classroom in Vellore or a corporate conference room, the performance adapts to the audience. You are not just watching a show; you are part of the story, shaping the direction it takes with every laugh, gasp, and question.
Storytelling is more than just entertainment; it is a tool for connection and learning. My workshops are built on the idea that when people, whether children or adults, are actively engaged, they learn better.
Schools and Teachers I have worked with institutions like Sunbeam Schools and DPS Varanasi to show educators how puppetry simplifies complex concepts. A folktale about frogs is not just a story; it is a way to teach food chains and ecosystems. I help teachers use voice modulation, rhythm, and body language to keep students engaged, even during dry academic subjects.
Corporate and Adult Groups For corporate teams, I use improv and puppetry to break down communication barriers. We use puppets to role-play scenarios that might feel awkward in a standard boardroom setting, fostering empathy and creative problem-solving. These sessions are designed to be messy, loud, and effective.
Healthcare and Community I also bring puppetry into hospitals. The goal is to provide a moment of relief for patients, especially children in pediatric wards. It is about creating a space where the stress of a hospital environment fades away, replaced by the simple joy of a character sharing a rhyme or a joke.
What to Expect When you book a session, we start with a conversation about your goals. I bring the puppets, the scripts, and the energy; you provide the space and an open mind. Everything is hands-on. We move, we laugh, and we experiment. I want you to walk away not just entertained, but with new tools you can use immediately.
