Communication Workshop 2016 in Dehradun - 24th Jan to 26th Jan 2016
Day 1: About 20 participants. Many from Delhi. One from
Vijaywada. One from Makrana, Rajasthan. One from Jaunpur. A senior
couple (Dhruv's parents) from Punjab. After a little intro and a little
conceptual background, participants were requested to conduct mutual
"stammering Interviews". Then, they went to local market for practicing
the skills with strangers - also had lunch.
We
gathered again at SR ashram by 3 pm. The scripts for role plays were
distributed. Participants quickly went thru the scripts and assigned
roles to their members. Some energizers. Some free flowing discussions -
about stammering, its nature, why this or that.. We ended by 5 pm. But
how can you end the ongoing discussions among pws..? Never.
So, many participants went to FRI, to carry on..
Day 2: We began at 9.30 am. Four participants (Vikas, Mohit, Ashish, Vishal) were sent off to MCF to interview the team there. Rest of us went to Gandhi Park in the heart of the city. Mrs Kathuria spoke to the person I/C of District Information Departments' pandal in the park; As a result she got us the mike, stage and the entire venue for free (you see, why we should be involving our parents in our struggles and missions..?).
We did role plays, to cheering audience. Some ex-tempore stuff, songs, Dr APJ speech by Abhay etc etc. We concluded with an on the spot role play: A funny Scene from a moving local bus. Mohit was the conductor in the great hurry. All the pws were the passengers. Buying the ticket was the crux of the play. We all had LOTS of fun.. We ended with slogan- Haklao magar Pyar se.. to which audience also joined.
Two hours later, the scene changed: we were at FRI. The vast lawns. With a mighty backdrop of a huge Victorian building.. We again staged some plays; feedback round- some fun, Ravi Teja did a Rajnikant act (mind it) - and then we returned to SR Ashram for more of unstructured discussion.. till cold and hunger made it impossible to stand and talk..
