Theatre Education

Academy of Theatre Arts, a programme division within Bangalore Little Theatre Foundation

Shaping Lives Through Theatre Education

In 2009 an Academy of Theatre Arts was created within Bangalore Little Theatre to pursue social development programmes. One of the thrusts of the Academy is to work in schools and with children. The Academy views Education Enrichment as a critical contributor to the larger societal goal of purposeful education, with a stress on appreciation of systemic realities in society.

Creative expression is seen as central to education. The Academy’s work includes innovations in both content and pedagogy that integrate –

Curriculum development (through research)
Faculty development (teacher training)
Materials development (texts, teaching aids, exercises, etc.)

Within the broader commitment to children, the Academy has a more specialized interest in reaching the disadvantaged child and organizations serving underprivileged communities.
