Asmita Theatre Workshop

In a workshop conducted by Mr. Rahul Khanna, a renowned theatre artist, the Kotharians learnt the significance of theatre to combat all obstacles. The workshop commenced with a beautiful revelation that every person from a guard employed in our security, a housekeeping staff taking care of our health and hygiene , a teacher who selflessly trains us to a gallant soldier who safeguards us is truly worthy of our love , care and respect. He also explained that there are two kinds of people – World-driven and Self-driven, and one must choose to be self-driven and walk his own paths to contribute in the making of an undisputed world. He encouraged students to come up with the issues of our society that call for an immediate remedy, and enlightened them to the fact that theatre, monologues and street plays can be efficient tools to battle these issues.
