Assam has many ethnic communities residing in the state. By and large, they are living within their own community, secluded from the others and with only few members practicing their own traditions. Srimanta Sankaradeva Kalakshetra Society has taken up this initiative that will evoke a sense to bridge this gap and to revive the fading traditions of each community. It will be a step towards promoting the performing arts tradition of one community among another, and in the process unifying the diversity of the land through cultural exchange and promulgating the concept of 'Bor Asom'.
This is a residential workshop, where the participants will get a chance to meet, exchange thoughts & ideas and develop a connect with not only the participants from other groups but also with other eminent Artists, Intellectuals and established personalities of Assam. Sattriya, Bhortaal & Borgeet lessons will be imparted for performing arts & culture, as well as for historical knowledge to create awareness about this centuries old great living tradition of Assam incepted by Mahapurush Srimanta Sankaradeva and SriSri Madhabadeva in the 15th century. Sessions on Mati Akhora and Yoga will also be imparted each day to inculcate an aptitude for good health.
This workshop is an effort that aims at strengthening the state as whole by unifying the different tribal and ethnic communities and groups that dwell in this land. This initiative is an opportunity to gear up the society to understand and realize the potentialities and talent of each community by another community in a positive and prospective environment.
