Theatre Workshop for Children: Voice and Speech

With Shruti Sridharan

28th May 2022   11 am - 1 pm

Two of the core skills of theatre and performance are Voice and Speech. At this workshop we will explore possibilities of using the two to tell our stories better, while playing games and putting our words and voices to creative use.

Object of the Month

The unique Minton tiles seen on the Museum's grand staircase & first floor were specially imported in the 1860s from Minton & Co, the leading ceramic design firm in 19th century England. The encaustic tiles have a mix of rococo, classical, and art nouveau design elements. Minton tiles were used in important public buildings or the homes of the elite as a status marker.
