Yogeshwari Preshant

 

Excellent effort with the forum. Truly enjoyed everyone's sharing. Excellant choice of speakers for specific specialisations. I havent enjoyed something to do with theatre for a Long time! Tahnk you AGAM!

Siva Kumar Menon

 

Drama has many by-products that actually helps with a holistic approach to learning involving multiple intelligences that are brought into play. People overlook these. Each school especially at primary level should at least have a drama club if curriculum time is not available. Thanks for this discussion.

Dharanmurali So Gopal

 

Thank you for the forum.

Kavitha Krishnan

 

Thank you AGAM Theatre for this initiative and Subramanian Ganesh for this invitation. Insightful and enriching. Creation of exchange space equally important as we practice. Perspectives from process driven work - thank you for spelling this out Aishwariyah Shanmuganathan. And Interesting perspective Ravee Vellu.

Thank you for the robust discussion.

Thirunalan Sasitharan

 

Congratulations Agam Theatre Lab! This is an excellent introduction to the Tamil understanding and thinking of the Theatre/Drama connection to logos. We are familiar with this thinking in Natyasastra and Aristotle but do need to hear more of the Tamil perspectives.

Lekchme Sekhar

 

What I see there is not much advertisement upon theater drama. Compared to cinema. That need to change. Thank you AGAM.
