Remembering Puppetry plays at Jeevandarshan, Vadodara

Puppets were made according to the Character of a play.

Puppets created by the participants

From 1975 onwards Jeevandarshan, Vadodara, India  had puppetry workshops every year for the groups who came from villages, schools, boardings etc.
It used to be a three days workshop as part of a communication seminar of 10 working days.
Mostly social messages were chosen for village development programmes of value education sessions in the schools or boardings. A sharing with the audience focused on the message and how they can improve their life situation. [ Devasia M]
