A Workshop on Theatrical Arts and Approaches

Theatrics is Vihaan’s flagship training initiative—a space for learning, exploration, and artistic transformation. Rooted in the belief that meaningful theatrical experimentation begins with deep understanding, Theatrics offers artists and learners an opportunity to immerse themselves in diverse forms, styles, and practices of theatre.

Vision
Theatre is an ever-evolving field that thrives on exploration, but its foundation must be strong. Theatrics is designed to nurture this foundation—combining theoretical insight with hands-on experience to help participants engage with the core principles of performance. Whether through movement, voice, text, or tradition, the initiative aims to strengthen the actor’s craft and widen their creative vocabulary.

Approach
Each Theatrics session blends classroom learning, studio practice, and laboratory-style experimentation. From one-day intensives to week-long workshops, the format allows trainers and participants the space to dive deep into a subject, explore its nuances, and develop their own responses to it. Sessions are designed to be immersive, interactive, and process-driven—prioritizing discovery over display.

Journey So Far
Vihaan has conducted five powerful editions of Theatrics, beginning with in-house explorations of improvisation. Notable sessions include:

‘Lok Akhyaan’, led by noted folklorist Kapil Tiwari, which delved into the narratives and performance traditions rooted in folk stories.

‘Presence, Voice and Text’, a rigorous session conducted by Spanish theatre practitioner Alicia Corral, focusing on the integration of body and voice.

A workshop on the Spanish dance form Flamenco, led by Marisol Valderrama Guerrero, which brought international rhythm and energy to the Vihaan studio.
