New Delhi, May 3 (PTI) The Delhi Development Authority (DDA), in collaboration with the National School of Drama (NSD), has launched ‘RangBaag’, a theatre-based initiative aimed at transforming public parks into spaces of creativity and learning, according to an official statement.
The programme has been rolled out in line with directions of Delhi Lt Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, who has emphasised reimagining green spaces as hubs of community engagement and cultural activity, it said.
The first batch commenced on May 2 at the Maya Art Gallery in Indraprastha Park, with participation from 21 children aged 12 to 16 years, the statement said.
Describing it as a first-of-its-kind institutional collaboration between the DDA and NSD, the statement said the initiative seeks to integrate structured theatre education into public spaces traditionally used for recreation.
Participants will undergo a six-week, production-oriented workshop led by trained theatre educators, focusing on communication exercises, movement-based activities, storytelling, improvisation and basic performance techniques in a collaborative setting.
“The workshop aims to nurture self-expression, confidence, empathy and teamwork, while fostering sensitivity towards surroundings through theatre,” it said.
The programme will culminate in a final performance scheduled for June 14, where participants will present their work before family members and mentors.
The DDA said ‘RangBaag’ is envisioned as a scalable model to integrate arts, education and community participation into public spaces, reinforcing the idea of parks as centres for learning and cultural engagement. PTI SGV SMV ARB
