Blavatsky Bungalow upstairs

Sonal Murali, Director, Adyar Theosophical Academy

A theosophical school is a place where the child is loved, nourished and encouraged to have a deep connection with nature and oneself. Adyar Theosophical Academy (ATA) provides a setting for children to express and explore their creativity while organically assimilating the core values of empathy, sensitivity and an attitude of stewardship for the environment and society. 

Self-directed and child-centred learning allows for nurturing curiosity, invoking a sense of wonder in children to help build creative thinking and experience the joy of learning and a lifetime of education. Join us as we share inspiring stories from our experience of learning and growing through transformative education.

 

3. “Expanding Perspectives through Forum Theatre"

Blavatsky Bungalow downstairs

Yugesh Ramachandran, Facilitator, TS in India

Forum Theatre is a form of theatre performance/dialogue where the audience can also participate and be involved in the story

It usually explores a complex social issue or topic as follows -

1. A short scene is performed - without an ending

2. A moderator invites audience members to pause the performance wherever they wish, and suggest what the actors should say

3. Actors restart the scene - this time pausing whenever audience has suggestions
