Katha will provide all the material needed for this fun-filled hand on craft activity.

We believe that puppets have the potential to make us laugh at ourselves, can teach principals that might otherwise be difficult to grasp and help us empathize with others, all while providing us with entertainment. Similarly, this workshop will help children become innovative and each child will get an opportunity to be creative and develop storytelling
and communication skills as they learn to create variety of different puppet forms.

Anurupa Roy is committed to innovative and socially relevant puppet making and has earned a reputation in the circle of puppet theater, in India and abroad. She went to study puppetry at Dramatiska Institute at the University of Stockholm under the great Michael Meschke, who also taught one of Anurupa's mentors in Delhi, Dadi Pudumjee. Anurupa holds a diploma in the Guaratelle tradition of glove puppetry from Naples.
She trained under Bruno Leone, who was taught by Nunzio Zampella, said to be the last of the old Neapolitan puppet masters.
