ABOUT THE ART
In Andhra Pradesh, the puppets, called tholu bommalata (“the dance of leather dolls”), are fashioned of translucent, coloured leather. These are projected on a small screen, like colour photographic transparencies. Animals, birds, gods, and demons dominate the screen. The puppeteer manipulates them from behind with two sticks. Strong lamps are arranged so that the size, position, and angle of the puppets change with the distance of the light. The puppeteers comprise of various entertainers who perform all night and usually reenact various stories from Hindu epics such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata.
WHAT WE LEARN
Intensive workshops are aimed at wholesome learning of an artform. During the course of 10 days, we study different elements like borders, birds, animals, florals, male and female figures.
We importantly also study the techniques and concepts of creating original compositions using these elements. The artist will create an artwork, participants can follow that or create their own works.
We also learn about the history of the artform and its journey over the centuries.
