NEW DIMENSION
Students of regular schools experienced the challenges of
disability by
 sitting
on wheel-chairs, being blindfolded, their mouth being covered by
plaster and ear clogged with cotton. Ruchika High School,
Mother’s School of Integral Education, DAV School Unit VIII,
St.Xavier’s high School participated wholeheartedly.
DANCE WORKSHOP
Anjali dance workshop,
has proven two things: that it is dance and
not therapy and that the work belongs to the concert stage, and that it can be
of professional quality. Sri Chittaranjan Acharya, the resource person, is a
proud man with an eye full of tears and heart full of love. The total number of
students in the dance workshop were 32.
MUSIC WORKSHOP
It
was clear that Sri Laxmikant
Palit has invested not just
time but love and feelings exploring just what children can do, beyond the frontiers
of disability and mindsets.
THEATRE WORKSHOP
Sri
Nabin Parida, lecturer Utkal
Sangeet Mahavidyalaya, was awestruck by the potential of children with disabilities.
His drama output
werebased on Jataka Tales.
PUPPETRY WORKSHOP
A puppetry workshop was also conducted as a part of art and
craft workshop. Mrs. Jayanti Rout, Ms. Rita Sahoo from Sneha Abhijan, Erasama,
and Ms. Sasmita with team from Open Learning System, Bhubaneswar, were the
resource persons of the workshop.
ART AND
CRAFT WORKSHOP
It is amazing what children can do. This was
amply demonstrated in the Anjali workshop under the guidance
of Sri Arun D. Phatak and Sri Tukaram Rajput (from
Maharashtra). It was amply demonstrated
that when mind and will power take
command, creativity defies all the barriers like deafness, mental challenges or physical
immobility.
