‘People like me exist outside the education system for a reason’: Theatre director Hina Siddiqui

Hina Siddiqui has been working with young learners and teachers since 2008, and is focussing on training people to work with children in various economic and social contexts. “Drama is my key methodology whether I am teaching performing arts, life skills, English, history or gender studies,” she says.

The workshop is most common with students, amateur theatremakers and actors.

Theatre director Hina Siddiqui is taking theatre beyond the script and the stage. Based in Pune, she is developing a performance piece around vignettes of hopes, dreams, fantasies and stereotypes about romantic relationships. “We want to see how gender, media messaging and literature shape our understanding and experience of romantic love,” she says.
