Children can learn a lot about literature by interacting with authors.
The students of Dharav High School got an opportunity to interact with Sohini Roychowdhury on January 21, 2023, as a part of the Jaipur Literature Festival Outreach Programme, organised by Pratham Books and Teamwork Arts.
Ms. Sohini Roychowdhury is a well-known dancer, choreographer, author, producer, and professor of Natyashastra who specialises in Bharatanatyam. She is also the founder of Sohinimoksha World Dance & Communications and Sohinimoksha Artes de La India in Spain. During her session she enlightened the students how dance can be a way of communicating emotions through movements, evoking them, and ultimately letting them out into the open, which frequently tell a story. She portrayed several characters and incidents from Hindu mythology using her hands in a succession of mudras.The students followed her and portrayed the five elements of life. They also discussed the importance of water and methods of conserving it.
