Two days were no short of a roller coaster ride. It stretched us, cajoled us, pushed us out of our comfort zone and helped us rediscover ourselves. We learnt, unlearnt, learnt……. it simply continued. The best part was it all happened with loads of interaction, engagement and fun. Together we put up role plays and surprised each other! The fact we were able to map it to our classrooms made it a deeper learning experience. Walked in with inhibitions, walked out confident!

We had a wonderful workshop with Lushin  Dubey, which was really good and very informative. Lushin Dubey workshop provided us a platform to enhance our acting and dramatization skills which we can use in our day to day teaching learning. We were a part of the performance which gave us a confidence to show our talents, express our feeling and emotions, and self-empowerment is learnt.Would like to conclude that as a mentor it was a great hands experience to me and on the whole it was an organic process.

The two day workshop conducted by these accomplished theatre experts served to infuse renewed energy and enthusiasm in the teachers before the onset of the new academic session. Although most of the activities( like physical warm up, voice modulation exercises, enacting a story ,etc. ) conducted  in the workshop were more or less similar to those done by the Julia Gabriel mentors with our learners, yet doing them ourselves served to enhance our confidence in our teaching abilities and strengthened them as well. This forum helped us to discover our inner strengths and build upon them and showed us the way to keep turning our weaknesses into strengths. Personally speaking, through this workshop I realised that theatre is actually an effective method of teaching because it not only breaks the monotony and makes learning more interesting, but it makes learning permanent by making the learners more involved in the learning process. Most of all, this workshop put all the staff members together in one place for two days, thus giving us an opportunity to interact and collaborate with each other.

I always thought Theatre and drama is only restricted to stage but Lushin Dubey workshop changed my perception. This workshop taught me that we at every stage of life is reflecting different characters and it is very important to make that character interesting for oneself as well as others. I learnt different techniques to make my class room teaching interesting and effective. Without any delay, I am actually implementing some of the techniques I have learnt in this workshop.It is very wisely said that a good movie is the product of the best effort put in by the Director to make the actors perform beyond his/her caliber. On this note I thank both the mentors for being the best directors as they helped me to take out the best performer from within me. I also would like to thank our Principal Ms. Anita Malhotra who has given us such opportunities in the form of workshops in order to groom our personality and become a more refined individual.

I had a wonderful experience attending the workshop. It gave good insight to our abilities of which we were not aware of the fact that it was a non-judgmental. I re-energized our minds and made us think out of the box with no inhibitions. I pleasantly surprised myself by performing reasonably well, the role of the beggar and making the friends imagine the big cake and get a feel of it. Thank you very much for noticing and appreciating it.

Lushan Dubey‘s workshop was one of those leanings which you learn by doing. The theater exercises took all of us back to our childhood where we all were happy, learning and not conscious of being judged by anyone. We all teachers were a big team – a big family. In spite of being long hour those two days just flew away. I was excited & enthusiastic like a child and wanted to do more and more…

The two days of interactive workshops took us into the world of drama theatre and play. It was a fun filled, energetic workshop with innovative ideas which can make class room teaching interactive. Learning to integrate theatre and class room was an enriching experience. It helped us identify our true selves, shed our inhibitions and emerge into a more confident individual.

Your session demonstrated to all of us how important it is to leverage the power of theatre in communications within organizations. The way you helped all of us to open up, access our creativity and even try our hand at theatre was brilliant. The highlight of the workshop was the opportunity given to teachers to present a small skit. Thank you very much for facilitating the session.

Liberating is the first word that comes to my mind. I got to learn that one can convert ones weakness into strength. My weakness of not reacting and answering back to an angry person/ situation actually was a strength as without my reactions the angry person /circumstance is POWERLESS !!

In response to the theatre workshop organized by Lushin Dubey and Bubbles Sabbarwal in Lotus Valley International School, I hereby put forth my feedback. Belonging to Force background where every now and then lady wives have to participate in different activities, be it the event management, stage participation, food management, decorations, different competitions, etc. we are brushed up to act accordingly. Though standing on stage and interacting with the audience is not new to me, I have little experience in acting. With this workshop my skill of acting was powdered and I feel more confident in presenting myself now. This workshop could have been more promising, had it been taken step by step in a more precise. In all, I would like to thank our principal for arranging this workshop for us which I am sure would be an opening to many of us.

Kanchan Raghuvanshi

Lushin Dubey’s workshop was a great learning experience. The workshop brought all of us together and we got to know each other much better. The various sessions during the 2 days have helped me get a better understanding of my strengths and areas of improvement. It has also given me some pointers on how to overcome my weaknesses.  One of the other major highlights for me was getting more knowledge about how to express one’s ideas, feelings and viewpoints.  The workshop would also help me become more confident while speaking publicly. The role-plays and feedback on the same gave me insights into how I could handle such situations better in the future. I would now try me best to apply the learning in real life situations such that I can become better in various aspects of my professional and personal life.

Lushin Dubey is a  well accomplished theatre personality with commendable experience and expertise in conveying “Matters de Life” through the medium of theatrics and art .This workshop was a unique experience for me as a teacher, also from the over all perspective of life and behavioral sciences. The message of perseverance, patience, humanity and inclusiveness was very clear. She introduced as to various techniques and tools of personality building including facts of confidence, behavior, communication, mutual trust and faith. This workshop was a positive benchmark in the series of workshops conducted at “LVIS” so far. More such like events which help in harnessing and spreading positivity in the environment are indeed welcome.

The workshop had been a very enriching experience in terms of a taste of theatre blended with a team bonding exercise among the teachers. Lousin Dubey and Bubbles are amazing mentors and their skill to relate theatre with teaching has left a new area of creativity in all the teaching minds. In dealing with the budding pods of creativity, if a simple thing like giving a pencil to the little ones can be dramatized and given in a way that leaves an impression on the child’s mind, I feel it takes teaching to another level altogether. The voice modulations were taught so well that each one of us could discover the capacity hiding within us. The exercise they did to explain trust was beautiful and very insightful as in how the co-teachers can be bonded in wonderful relationship which adds exponentially to the energy of the class. Feel very grateful being given this opportunity to experience theatre first hand and look forward for such enlightening experiences in the near future.

Lushin Dubey’s workshop was a new discovery to know yourself and your colleagues in an entirely  different way. Before this workshop ’Theatre’ was just watching movies for me but  with the activities and learning that I have experienced in this workshop has just made theatre one of my hobby and has drawn my sparkling interest towards it. Mrs. Dubey and Mrs. Sabharwal has planned and executed each and every activity and game in a very positive and impactful manner.

Day one started with the introduction of each teacher participating in the work shop which gave me the opportunity to get to know many teachers whom I did not know personally. Further to that, the teachers spoke about their weaknesses and the strengths which made me connect with them in a better way. Speaking about myself also gave a voice to my inner feelings as I was given a chance to open up myself in front of the other teachers. I got a chance to face my self-consciousness by talking about my weaknesses. Admitting to them is still helping me overcome them in a better way. We were divided into groups and were asked to perform on a small skit. The skit that my co teachers and me were given bonded us during the process in a special way as we exchanged ideas and performed on them. It was my first experience of giving a performance in front of a big audience. I initially felt the hitch to perform in front of all but by the end of it, the workshop helped me get rid of my inhibitions and deliver a more confident me.

The workshop, for me, was an amazing bonding experience, and also an exercise in developing my confidence. I got an opportunity to interact with many teaches, most of whom were unknown to me till that day.  Various engaging and fun filled activities in the workshop taught me to have a positive outlook towards my colleagues and love for my work.I believe in giving my hundred percent in whatever I do and am passionate about teaching. This workshop further strengthened my beliefs. It also made me believe that every person has certain strengths and weaknesses, and we should accept them for what they are. I learned to apply this philosophy on the little ones, accepting them as unique individuals who all possess certain positive attributes which should be a source of inspiration for any teacher.

Parul Sharma

The workshop with the Lushen and Bubbles ma’am was indeed a very enlightening and enriching experience for me. It happened on the very first day of my joining the school, so it proved to be an ice-breaker for me with most of the staff members at Lotus Valley. It helped me get inducted into the school very smoothly. It was a very participative and involving experience. This workshop helped me open-up and liberated me from our inhibitions.We were encouraged to think ‘out-of-the-box’, which would help in making the teaching job very exciting for us as well as for the learners. Theatre-in-education can actually revolutionarize the whole concept of teaching and coaching. I look forward to more such-like sessions in the school.Heartiest thanks to Lushen Ma'am and Bubbles ma'am.
