PROJECT LASYA
The term Lasya describes a strong feminine force and an expression of fluid dance marked by sheer power and happiness.
This project will be a field based intervention and deal with creating opportunities for abandoned girls, reviving a spirit of optimism in them. They will get an opportunity to learn about their abilities, and re-tell their story of resistance, story of patience, power and strength to a wider world.
We will engage in interacting to girls in Shelter homes, who have survived despite being disowned by families at young age. Setting up effective Counselling-interactive sessions to inculcate, learn and develop an environment of friendship and support, in order to build confident personalities will also be our attempt.
We will engae in bringing to them exposure to learn different media of expression, which we believe would be their strongest capability: the need to strong expression. (Theatre workshops etc.)
PROJECT KILKARI
Kilkari means something to do with sound of joy and childhood cheerfulness and as the name suggests. The Project is our genuine attempt to protect baby girls from being killed, much before they are born.
The initiative stands up expressing strong disapproval toward the sustained practice of selective sex abortion and rising statistics of female Gendercide in India and worldwide.
It makes reference to the power of protest: in both overt and covert forms and eventually be operational at two levels of Event based and research based intervention: the two prominent stages of ‘knowing rights’ and ‘standing up for rights’.
The creative platform, seeks to impact the audience through sensitive realization: through Art, Drama, Photography- recreating the space ‘she’ deserves.
It will also include research in the problem areas of implementation of the PC PNDT Act, despite amendments- a student led campaign appeal to initiate constructive implementation, for a better tomorrow.
