NCPA SUMMER FIESTA 2012 Started by the National Centre of the Performing Arts (NCPA) in 2010 to inspire creativity, encourage learning skills and provide entertainment at the same time, the NCPA Summer Fiesta is an exciting way to spend the vacations, while learning various skills in an informal, non-competitive environment. This is a month-long festival for children that encourages development through the performing arts.

The idea behind this initiative is two-fold: one direct and one indirect. The direct objective is to engage children so as to enrich their vacations through fun workshops that span theatre, dance, creative writing and craft. The indirect objective is to draw these children, the adults of tomorrow, to spaces they might not have otherwise ventured to: performance spaces. The NCPA as a venue would like to play host to such an endeavour in the hope that through their exploration of the NCPA's premises, when an entire month is dedicated to them and their interests, these children will find a space they want to consciously be a part of and come home to.

This year the NCPA Summer Fiesta will focus on diversity over and above quantity, both within and between workshops. The dance workshops have a range of forms including Jazz, Bharatanatyam and Kathak through which various children's activities such as retelling the Panchatantra will be explored. The theatre workshops include but are not restricted to theatre games, activities, acting, improvisation, and comedy. Apart from these there will be a few creative writing workshops and a handful of workshops across the spectrum of music, arts and crafts, and puppetry. To ensure that evenings can be a time for the family, the NCPA will once again have children's plays that can be enjoyed by everyone from the 6 year old to Dada-Dadi and Nana-Nani.

The NCPA Summer Fiesta 2012 will feature 20 workshops, 7 plays and a handful of surprises. To find out more please click on the links below:
