Creative Activities for Children from Somalatha Subasinghe Play House
View(s):Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation (LCYTF), popularly known as Somalatha Subasinghe Play House commences its next session of the “Creative Activities for Children” programme on January 9, 2016.
Children from ages four to fourteen can take part in the programme. The prime objective of the programme is to develop the child’s mental and physical aspects and to enhance artistic taste, cheerfulness and playful sense of the child through aesthetic experiences.
Therefore this programme can be considered as an extracurricular learning that supplements the formal education the child obtains in school.
The programme gives the child the opportunity to learn the basics of enjoying and appreciating music, free movement, dance and rhythmic movement, acting and language, art, singing, puppetry and handwork.
The programme is conducted by Kaushalya Fernando, Dr. Chandana Aluthge and Nilanka Dahanayake.
The late Mrs Somalatha Subasinghe founded the Lanka Children’s and Youth Theatre Foundation in 1981 to promote theatre productions and performances specifically for children and youth, training of actors and actresses, and research on theatre studies.
This programme is conducted on Saturdays from 9.00 a.m. to 11.30 p.m. at the Battramulla Lion’s Club Activity Centre situated down Jayanthipura main road.
