JAMMU, May 21: Renowned cultural institution Natrang is all set to organise its much-awaited Children Theatre Camp from the first week of June, 2026, offering young participants a vibrant platform to explore creativity, confidence, and communication through the medium of theatre.
Joined by senior artists, Neeraj Kant and Sumeet Sharma, Padma Shri awardee and Director of Natrang, Balwant Thakur, said that the camp has been specially designed as a unique and comprehensive theatre training programme for children. Beyond acting and stagecraft, the initiative aims to nurture multiple life skills that are essential for the holistic development of young minds.
He informed that the camp will focus extensively on enhancing public speaking abilities, communication skills, personality development, storytelling techniques, creative expression, confidence building, team spirit, and leadership qualities. Through carefully curated activities, games, theatre exercises, and interactive sessions, children will get an opportunity to discover their hidden talents and overcome hesitation and stage fear in a joyful and encouraging environment.
According to Balwant Thakur, theatre is one of the most powerful tools for shaping the personality of children as it stimulates imagination, emotional intelligence, discipline, and social awareness. He emphasized that in today's highly competitive and technology-driven world, children require creative spaces where they can express themselves freely and develop the confidence to communicate effectively.
The Children Theatre Camp by Natrang has earned immense popularity over the years for its innovative approach and transformational impact on participants. Hundreds of children who attended previous editions of the camp have greatly benefitted in academics, communication, and overall personality development. Many participants have also gone on to excel in cultural and creative fields.
The camp will be conducted by experienced theatre professionals and trained resource persons associated with Natrang, ensuring a highly engaging and professionally enriching experience for the participants. Parents have always appreciated the camp for creating a positive, disciplined, and inspiring atmosphere for children during the summer break.
Interested parents and guardians are encouraged to register their children at the earliest as seats for the camp are expected to fill quickly due to overwhelming response every year. Detailed information regarding registration and schedule will be announced shortly by Natrang. |
