1 Kavita
Gupta is a theatre artist and storyteller.
She directs Mirror Workshops,
which provides theatre training for children.
Mirror Workshops' tagline
is, "Discovery of the inner being". Kavita uses theatre techniques
to help children increase their self-confidence and develop their
personalities. She tries to create
out-of-the-box experiences for workshop participants, so the participants can
come out of their shells and perform expressively and spontaneously.
Kavita's background in the study of Mass Communication and the
Montessori teaching method helps her to interact with young people. A voracious reader, she carries written tales
everywhere she goes. She combines her
theatre experience with the storytelling art to not just tell stories, but to
perform them, bringing the characters to life. Kavita
regularly performs in bookstores and schools.
She acts in other directors' stage productions. And, of course, she herself often directs
children in stage productions.
Storytelling and acting are the needs of the hour, as digitization is
taking over many children. We need to
give children the experience of their own imaginations, because their lives
and thought processes have in many cases become too structured from the
outside. Contact info: 91630 43709 mirrorworkshops@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/mirrorworkshops 2 Priyanka Chatterjee. Priyanka

by qualification, but the storytelling bug in her was always struggling to
surface having grown up among books and stories. It finally (and thankfully) had its way
once motherhood happened to her and she started enjoying going back to her
own childhood tales with her son.
That's when she decided to venture into storytelling as a profession and
discovered her natural affinity towards children. Thus, in the year 2019 Pip & Squeak was
born. As Pip & Squeak, she uses her
stories to facilitate literacy, encourage thinking, incite creativity, and make
learning fun by often coupling them with stories, and engaging crafts and
other activities -- all to provide an experience that delights kids and
parents alike. Pip & Squeak has since performed
(online and offline) in numerous renowned schools, libraries, and children's
carnivals. Nidhi has also collaborated with
some publication houses where she retells folktales and even lends her voice
to their audio libraries. Her self-developed STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) module has appealed to and helped
several children. Here she brings an
element of fun to these important subjects by emphasising their applications
in everyday life through stories and hands-on activities. The results being, the children often don't
even realise when the knowledge and skills are etched in their minds! Recently conducted programmes
include: "But why?" This series of 12 workshops
mostly consisted of "Pourquoi stories" ("Why? stories"). The series is conducted with an intent to
bust some myths and to educate children on the fun facts of the selected
animal. Each story session is combined
with an activity and the children are invited to exhibit their creativity,
all of which reiterates the learnings of the session. STEM workshops These Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics workshops are perfect blends of stories, and
activities based on stories, that teach age-specific concepts in order to
ensure long-term retention. A photo is here. Videos -- https://youtube.com/c/PipSqueakstories Contact 98300 21457 pipandsqueak19@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/pipnsqueak https://www.instagram.com/pip_nd_squeak 4 Shreya is a trained storyteller,

storytelling and spirituality to help initiate healing on a core level and
restore pillars of faith and self-worth. She is also an author: her debut

that moves her often becomes her poetry. Sristi finds inspiration in books
and music to enliven every day. Photos of Sristi's recent
