Workshops & Trainings

Shadow Puppet workshop in association with Storybasket

by MeeraMayaa February 6, 2022
written by MeeraMayaa

A #puzzle to #solve
It follows you everywhere, it does whatever action you perform.
Well, we know that you guessed it right.
It’s our Shadow.

Will shadow share a story?
It does!
The story you create is what is replicated exactly by a shadow.

Were you someone who stopped playing with shadows in your childhood, it was not only the shadow, it was with Light too. Maybe something from Physics would have spoken to you then, and you parked it rusting in the childhood itself ?

It continues
Whether in school or college, it continues everywhere.

Even in the #Corporate for that matter.
As a Leader or as a team what kind of shadows are you creating?
Something as tall as Giraffe or small as an ant.

Play with your hands and light, it will help you solve so many things in your organization. You may never know that the neurons in your mind gets activated when you play with shadows and light.

Inviting you all for a Shadow puppet show by Storybasket an initiative run by Ms.Meera Vishwanath in collaboration with #Mayaakathawherestoriesdance ( https://lnkd.in/gsf2fdpF )

Illustrating Stories – Ep. 1 – How it all started?

by MeeraMayaa June 24, 2021
written by MeeraMayaa
When we speak about stories, what comes to your mind?
Is it the plot, background element, visual depiction, the feel, the auditory part, or the Storyteller? Maybe, you might have thought about the Science or the Artistic part in Stories too. We can call it, the Art or the Science of Storytelling.Why do we share stories? Is there a purpose or a compulsory need to share stories?

The little neurons in my mind have been asking such questions and here am starting a series to write a series on, ‘Storytelling.’ I have always wondered why am drawn towards this domain. It all started when I had a tiff with my Coach and Mentor when he mentioned, why I am telling stories and why I am not sharing the facts instead? This thought irked me and it slapped each and every cell in my body and shook the DNA, in fact, I felt that my DNA lost its helix structure and it uncoiled itself to a flat lifeless string. I picked on a one-on-one with my Mentor, Mr.Ramesh Prasad, NLP Trainer-Onefluencer  https://onefluencer.com/ , and asked him, “What is wrong with me or for that fact if anyone shares stories?” Well, there was a silence and then this silence opened a space in my mind to create a page 3 years back and today a series called, ‘Stories in Oasis.” Stories in Oasis is all about Stories and what it means to me.

Stories have been flowing for generations and ages just like a river to meet its Ocean. In this series, basis my understanding and experiences of experiencing and learning, I would be quilling few weaves starting with the structure of storytelling, what stories mean to me, how I relate with the same. There is no right or wrong and there is no exact or rigid structure. Just like a river that doesn’t have an exact structure but it does have a pattern and how it breaks the same as well, stories travel a path in a pattern which is not only about leaving a message called, ‘Moral of the story,’ but on what makes the flow beautiful, interesting and how it makes us wondering and seated till the end showcasing the outcome!

What and all get’s into the structure, is it the Root, Trunk, and the branches or loads more to the Tree of Storytelling?

Will be back with the next story soon!

And Mayaakatha is planning more.
Yes, loads more in the kitty, we had Poetry connect for April month, a mixed bag of stories for May and now we are featuring Healing stories as a part of #365daysofStorytellinginMayaakatha for June 2021.

Here’s the link to the YouTube channel and Facebook page.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo2rdS8BJABOCxjafIqW9Zg/videos
https://www.facebook.com/groups/211798943266441/

And for July 2021, we plan to feature Lockdown-melodies.  A date with the Vessels, a medley with the laundry clothes, or a break-dance with the broom and mop stick. You heard it right, tickle all your neurons, and allow your DNA to weave some personal stories or the one you enjoyed listening to, with due courtesy to the story owner.

Don’t you wait, nor scratch your head!
Just write/ share your story videos to storieswithmayaakatha@gmail.com along with your profile brief and story credit details.
