The Ramayana is a 2000-year old epic, deeply rooted in the culture and identity of South and Southeast Asians. Like all great epic tales, it is a vast, complex story that captures the imagination of adults and children alike. The Sutradhar Institute’s approach is somewhat unique in that campers are introduced to the Ramayana through story-telling, martial arts, yoga, mask-making, Sanskrit (the language of the epic), poetry, rangoli (floor painting) and creative writing--thus appealing to all children’s love of stories and story-telling. The camp has been operating for nearly 20 years, with many children returning year after year, first attending as junior campers and then later as camp counselors. Camp Kuchipudi: For those interested in immersing themselves in dance, Camp Kuchipudi deeply explores the south Indian classical dance style of Kuchipudi. Beginners are welcome. Although it is structured much like Camp Ramayana, much more emphasis is placed on dance technique and choreography. Activities include yoga, martial arts, dance technique make up design, Kuchipudi repertoire, and dance ethnography.
