Creative Encounters for December vacation
View(s):“Creative Encounters”, another drama and creative activities programme for children by Somalatha Subasinghe’s Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation (LCYTF) popularly known as Play House-Kotte will be held during the school vacation in December 2013.
“Creative Encounters” aims to allow the children to learn and enjoy the basic elements of different art forms such as drama, dance, music and painting. This programme is aimed at enhancing the artistic taste, cheerfulness and playful sense of the child through creative activities and thereby develops his/her abilities and self-esteem. While providing a valuable opportunity to learn basic forms of art, the programme encourages the child to explore human relationships, socio-cultural values and achieve world awareness. Taking part in “Creative Encounters” would certainly be a different and rewarding experience for children to spend his/her December school vacation.
Children between the ages seven and fifteen can take part in the programme which is conducted on weekdays. The programme runs for five consecutive days from 8.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m. at Lion’s Club Hall, Jayanthipura, Battaramulla. On the final day of the programme, children will perform in the presence of their families.
