WORKSHOP AT FESTEMBER2010

I was invited by Mr Aravind, final year student of N.I.T., Tiruchirapalli for giving a workshop in FESTEMBER2010 well before 4 months.

When I agreed upon this workshop, the date was fixed for 24th Sept., 2010.

Before 20 days, Mr Aravind and Ms Reddy sent me the train tickets by email. Accordingly, I travelled in the Mangalore Express and reached Tiruchy in the early hours of 24th Sept., 2010. I was taken by a van alongwith other students and trainer to a hostel.

I was taken to the venue before time and I started giving the performance for the first 20 minutes. The performance was welcomed by the participants through their laughter. There were more than 50 students attending the workshop.

During the balance 1 hour and 40 minutes, I conducted the workshop. I used power presentation of 26 slides to explain the nuances of Ventriloquism.

The students participated in the practice session wholeheartedly. During the final 15 minutes, I invited the students to come forward and try their hands on the puppets. I encouraged them to cut jokes through the puppets.

The students joined in pair and their puppets had a brief dialogue.

On the whole, everybody enjoyed the workshop. The following photos would vouch for the same.
I thank Mr Aravind, Ms Reddy, Mr Aravind Junior, Mr Vikash, Mr Jai and other guys who helped me in arranging puppets, changing the slides of the presentation, taking photos and finally packing my puppets. I was overwhelmed by their hospitality.

At the end, I was invited by a participant to conduct a similar workshop at VIT, Vellore.
