Project Details
On June 2nd, Srijanalaya and Nritya Aagan paired up with Shikshya Foundation Nepal and Daya Foundation to perform the children's book Sanu Ra Andibheri, by author and illustrator Bandana Tulachan, at the International Book Fair in Kathmandu.
The story has been previously performed by Srijanalaya and Nritya Aagan at the Innovation in Education Fair (Pokhara, 2017), and Art Works! Sangai Khelaun (Sindhuli, 2018). Click on the links for more information about these projects.
Srijanalaya's Sharareh Bajracharya narrated the story, while Nritya Aagan's Subima Shrestha performed a graceful dance. The story was accompanied by a team of talented musicians, including:
The story was performed twice, and both times, the space was jam-packed! Groups of children with a range of disabilities (from being blind, deaf, or both, or having down syndrome) sat at the front and had the opportunity to experience the performance through the visual dance, the auditory narration, and the accompanying music. This special combination of storytelling techniques is important for making arts performances accessible to all.
For another look at the performance, see this blog post by Srijanalaya's intern, Helena Van Brande.
