BEHES WORKSHOP

In an attempt to encourage students to perform with a new and cutting-edge format of debate in India, allowing enormous freedom of expression and knowledge, a “Behes workshop” is often conducted at Presidium. It is a thought provoking workshop. Students in this program exchange a variety of facts, statistics, rhetoric, and arguments and a lot of research work goes into their arguments. The program allows immense research, analytical, collaborative, and linguistic skills which put their oratory faculties to test as well. Post the first round, students are selected for a ‘Maha Behes' round which is held on the last day of the workshop. ‘Behes’ a useful way to refresh one’s knowledge when they are already familiar with the debates.

KATHAK WORKSHOP

When we talk about Indian classical dance, the first thing that comes to the mind is: Kathak
Kathak originates from the word ‘Katha’ meaning story. It is a dance form which evolves and sharpens the expression of the performer because this dance form is all about expressing a story through dance. With the motive of spreading awareness and promoting India’s rich culture and heritage, Presidium school takes the onus of conducting Kathak workshops throughout the branches. Many Kathak Maestros are invited to guide and inspire the students. Such workshops not only develop a student’s interest in our rich heritage but also make education even more holistic.
