Sunday (17 May): 2pm - 3pm

Dive into the evocative world of storytelling with a focus on classical Indian dance. In this interactive Odissi workshop, children will discover the magic of mudras—hand gestures that communicate specific emotions, characters, and nautical tales. Participants will master sea-inspired gestures such as the ‘Fish’, ‘Shell’, and ‘Wave’ mudras, using them to creatively retell stories of mysterious sea creatures and vibrant underwater adventures. It is an engaging way for young festival-goers to connect with traditional performance art through the lens of Singapore’s maritime heritage.
