St. Cecilia’s Public School organized a Puppet show for classes I to V students on 26th July 2013. The Puppeteer Mr Sumit Kharbanda conveyed that puppets have been a versatile means of artistic expression, communication and instruction for 2,000 years. Working the edge between entertainment and education, puppets can both teach and persuade. Their creative potential is just waiting to be used to help communities grow and change. The Puppet show was nothing short of genius as the puppets came to life.
He showed a puppet dramatization of ancient stories to the children. It was an entertaining and exciting show for the students. It was a visual treat to see how Puppets work the edge between entertainment and information. They lined up alongside drama, storytelling, drumming and dance as art forms that were also able to teach and persuade. The children were lost in the world of puppets. They were able to accept the message without even realizing that they are learning. Lessons learned in the show seemed to be way more likely to be remembered and to become part of their solid stock of knowledge.
