Ethology in Indian Oral Literature - Online Workshop

Right from the Panchatantra to the Jataka tales to the innumerous folktales of the land the story way of teaching sharing and documenting used the animal world immensely. Though today we see them mostly in children’s tales the workshop will explore the philosophy of ethology and connect to the human psychology that these tales inherit. A keen sense of natural observation was inherent in the story makers and using metaphors from the natural world was a common trait. This can come back into our vocabulary if we open the doors to listening to the nature around us.

What will you learn through the workshop: 

• The appreciation of animal tales for adults.
• Connecting with the nature around us to brew new tales.
• Create stories that look at our ecosystem more carefully.
• Convey complex human emotions using the lens of animals birds and other living beings
• Creating stories that can travel to another generation

The workshop will be conducted online on Zoom
