Theatre-in-Education (TiE) is a programme that can comprise a performance supported by active audience participation, often in the form of interactive workshops. These are facilitated by the performers/teachers using a variety of techniques. It’s usually less concerned with imparting factual knowledge and more concerned with exploring sensitive issues.

TIE believe that the young minds should explore beyond the four walls, and performing arts is the apt medium for it. Our modules aim at experiential learning and using alternative education means to give students the opportunity to experiment with their ideas, explore their surroundings, experience new situations and express their viewpoints

There is a famous American proverb, “Tell me, and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.” This seems to be true, especially in the case of school students.

Theatre in Education can be considered as a method of work used by some companies all the time, and by others only occasionally. Many companies who use this method of work have, as their starting point, a strong left-wing or didactic approach to their subject matter, and they cannot be considered as mere tools of the education system. Rather, they act as outside questioners, looking at ideas and values in society.
