Feminist Story Telling: Crafting Empowered Scripts
Dates to be confirmed
The concept of the female gaze transcends the conventional portrayal of women merely as objects of fantasy for men, instead striving to authentically represent them as multifaceted human beings. In essence, it seeks to unravel the complexity of female experiences and perspectives through a lens unburdened by traditional stereotypes.
The forthcoming workshop endeavors to create an empowering space tailored for intrepid women who are driven to craft narratives that go beyond the norm. It beckons those with an insatiable curiosity to explore uncharted territories and redefine the portrayal of femininity and sexuality within the realm of narrative cinema. This is an opportunity to challenge and recalibrate the narrative landscape, fostering a new era of storytelling that echoes the voices and stories of women.
This workshop, enriched by Gitanjali Rao's guidance, invites fearless women creators to join in the exploration of new storytelling dimensions, as they challenge the entrenched male gaze and unveil the narratives that have long remained untold. It's an exceptional opportunity to embark on a journey of artistic evolution, forging a path towards more inclusive and authentic narratives.
Facilitator: Gitanjali Rao (Director: Bombay Rose)

Transplanting rice

Experiential learning is that learning which is an inevitable product of experience; originating from the idea that experiences are generated through our ongoing interactions and engagement with the world around us. This theory of learning is different from cognitive and behavioral learning theories as it takes a more holistic approach. It considers the role that all of our experiences play in our learning, including our emotions, cognition and environmental factors.
The experiential learning theory advocates for deep learning rather than surface learning. Surface learning normally involves studying about food groups and how it affects our health, which might be achieved through memorizing information in a textbook, and information may not be retained well.
