AHAna’s experience


AHA volunteer auditions on 5th July 2014 for performing at the launch of AHA International theatre festival on the 10th of July 2014.…

Auditions....
Children were asked to think of a character, describe it and name it.
Act as if the child is pulling out something from an imaginary box and act in such a way that the audience is able to guess what it is.
Create a rhyme describing the character the child has thought of.

Auditions done...
Children geared up for preparing the script for their play. And Anuja Ghosalkar’s way of getting the kids to own the script was to use their characters & dialogues for the play. 2hrs of practice everyday for 5 days and children were ready to perform at Rangashankara on the 10th of July. 2 songs included  in the play of which one was written by Ahana and for another tune was from her again. Their show which lasted for about 10 mins was executed very well by every child.
