Even more important in this time of a pandemic... #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #DikhtaNahiHotaHai Apni Shala

It's been a month back at school for us Oberoi International School. Both digital excitement & digital fatigue are real for our students. Through it all our focus remains clear - their wellbeing. A good time to be a theatre teacher with care, empathy, security at the centre of all classrooms.

One month into school and we had our first @share_ISTA interest meeting with the IB Diploma Programme Theatre students Oberoi International School. The hunger to #see #meet #learn is strong. Nothing helps #CONNECT like #art. #virtualartists #lifelonglearning #ArtsEd

Camera on or off? As a #theatre teacher I want every class to be an exchange of #energy. But the fundamental rules of energy exchange are agency and respect, aren't they? Camera on or off? Ask the kids. Give them choice. Their voice matter. #Compassionateclassroom

The show must go on...Or must it? Reading about innovative performance spaces, cities that are opening up traditional performance spaces and cities like mine #Mumbai that just cannot afford to right now... #SafetyFirst but also #SaveTheArts

Attended one of the initial together towards tomorrow sessions @share_ISTA in June. Saw the faces of the names I've known so long - Tom, Fenella, Sally. Met alumni & teachers. #Rich and #rewarding exchanges about #Art #Faith #Hope #Change and #Possibilities #theatreneverstops

#India celebrated #TeachersDay2020 this weekend. It is one of those days of the school calendar I absolutely love. #Gratitude for my job as a #theatre #educator and the #energy it brings me, everyday.

In #honesty lie both #vulnerability and #strength. Teaching my Gr 10 class Spoken Word poetry. So proud of how each one is committed to finding their #Authentic #Voice. #theatreteacher #artseducator #Youth #Empowerment

The #Arts are central to our human experience. If we didn't already know that, the #pandemic has shown us how. #ArtsEd

5th month of #teaching from #home. 7 months of not having met the kids or the colleagues. I went to the school building today Oberoi International School and felt extremely happy and strangely sad. How life has changed! #WorkFromHome #MentalHealthMatters #MissingSchool

#Service #learning and #ServiceAsAction links are fundamental to our #drama #curriculum Oberoi International School. Tomorrow my Grade 6 will perform #ReadersTheatre pieces to support the #PYP literacy program. #Stories are more important now than ever before! IB MYP #theatrekidsarethebest

A funny morning in Gr 8 Oberoi International School as we researched, compared and contrasted some classic and contemporary #comedians! Some of my kids had never heard of #LaurelAndHardy or the #MarxBrothers!!! #onlinelearning #digitaldrama #theatreed #comedy #stage #screen

2 weeks of virtual planning and 16 weeks of virtual teaching later, this 1 week of Diwali holidays was #bliss! Getting ready for another #MondayMorning online already! Oberoi International School

We are heading towards the end of a whole semester online Oberoi International School. More gratitude now than ever for kind colleagues and kinder students. #Community is so important in the #Learning #Process!!! IB PYP IB MYP IB Diploma Programme

Railed against the vaccine policy in today's national news. Many thanks to Yogita Rao for giving me a platform. #Covishield #VaccineRegistration
