The Rathabeedi Geleyaru, the Sangama Kalavider and the Karavali Kalavidaru will organise a 12-day theatre training camp titled ‘Ranga Sangatya’ in Manipal from May 17 to 28.
Addressing presspersons here on Thursday, M. Prasad Rao, convener of Ranga Sangatya, said that the camp will be divided into three categories – youth, women and children.
During the camp, children between 10 and 12 years will be trained for a play based on Gandhian principles. Children below 10 years will be trained for another play.
In the morning, the youth will be trained for a play focusing on the female characters in ‘Mahabharata’.
There were many amateur theatre groups in and around Udupi, but the performances of some of their actors were not that polished. Hence, training programmes will be held for them to hone their skills daily from 6.30 p.m. to 10 p.m. At the end of the camp, these groups would stage a play each.
