Jammu and Kashmir: Artists conducting workshops to train youth in folk theatre
Srinagar: Senior artists are organising workshops in Jammu and Kashmir to motivate youth in the region to learn basics of folk theatre.
Artists like Shah Jahan Bhagat have been organising workshops for the youth so that the century-old culture of the Kashmir valley can be preserved, reports ANI.
Mudasir Bhagat, an artist, told ANI, “Today we performed a play here at Tagore Hall. Senior artists have been preparing us for the last one month for this performance.”
“The youth does not want to get involved in the folk theatre. But it has to be preserved,” he added.
Bhagat, the director of the play, said, “The traditional folk theatre is losing its value.”
