CHILD OF THE DIVIDE – Bhuchar Boulevard: Workshop session / Play Reading @ ROSE COMMUNITY CLUBROOM
Had the pleasure of facilitating a workshop session with theatre maker Sudhar Bhuchar for her ‘Child of the Divide’ play based on the Partition of India (1947) for members at the Rose Community Clubroom, Ascalon Street, SW8 4AX
As a reference point, I shared some illustrations based on oral recordings from victims of Partition, which were commissioned by the National Archives UK back in 2023 for an educational resource pack for UK schools.
A reading of the play will be held at the Rose centre on 16th July with live music by Arun Ghosh from 5.30pm onwards – no booking required, just pop by the space…
Shout out Fozia (Happy Homes) & the team from Partition Memorial for supporting the sessions, as well as my fellow arts facilitators Manasi, Vanessa, Fifi & Katharine – and of course Chetna for connecting the dots, as always!
