Thang Ta at Children's festival
Times of India | TNN | Nov 14, 2011, 05.55AM IST:
The National School of Drama's theatre-in-company , Sanskar Rang Toli, organised a week-long festival (November 8-14) for children, Bal Sangam, on the occasion of Children's Day. Around 200 children from different parts of India participated in the festival.
One of the groups that participated was the Huyen Lallong Manipur Thang Ta Cultural Association from Manipur . The group performed the Thang Ta - a martial art that uses swords and spears, which is usually performed in the months of June and July. The group comprised 13 children ranging from the age of 11-15 years. Their guru N Jadumani Singh accompanied them.
Talking about the future plans, Singh says, "We want to perform in festivals, to different audiences from children to grown-ups . When children are together, they teach and learn from each other without any bias. We want to sensitise children to learn about their traditions and to help keep them alive."
