INTRODUCTION

The Camarabhat community theatre project was initiated by Arundhati Nag, theatre curator, for the Serendipity Arts Festival 2019. Camarabhat located in Talegaon, adjoining Panjim, is home to a vibrant third-generation migrant community. The 3-month project brought together children aged between 10 and 13 years into a continuing engagement with theatre, music, and movement. Theatre director Sunil Shanbag put together a team of young theatre practitioners from Goa, and elsewhere, to give shape to the intent. The project, based on a well-known children’s poem by Goan poet Manoharrai Sardesai titled Bebeanchem Kazar (“The Wedding of the Frogs”), began with a workshop which introduced the children to theatre games, the importance of working together towards a common goal, and basic storytelling, followed by workshops in music and movement.
