Renwoned Actor/Director and president Kalidas Theatre Dr. Ayash Arif said “Theatre workshop for students is a new effort . Till late eighties Theatre in Kashmir was at its peak and after that due to turmoil it almost rendered stagnant and some of the artists associated with theatre left the valley and some lost interest, but now we want to train our young children by roping them into these workshops , which is important because there is a great talent available in our valley and through these programmes they can get right direction to develop their personality.”
