LIGHTS.....CAMERA....COLLECTIVE ACTION !!!!

From 8th to 13th June 2013, CRY redefined creativity and its power. A theatre workshop was organized for CRY Delhi Volunteers under guidance of Mehak Theatre Group at CRY office, Saket, Delhi. Many volunteers registered for the workshop and had an experience of a lifetime. CRY through this workshop embarked a movement led by the youth, to take a collective action and to raise their voice against the sensitive issue of child labour.

"It was an extremely enriching and fun filled theatre session. We were made to perform spontaneous short skits. Once the workshop ended, people went out with immense confidence, which they seemed to lack before. We were made to work in groups to sensitize people towards issues of great concern."

- Gaurav Agarwalla (Event Coordinator)

   

"The Theater workshop by Mehak Theater Group taught us the basics of theater, which included coordination, voice modulation and presentation. It was fun and knowledgeable at the same time. A big thanks to CRY for this experience."
