The Company is availble for tours. Traditional Traditional Andhra shadow puppets are made in leather and cured in a manner which gives the only coloured shadows in the world of puppets. This ancient technique was revived in Darpana giving it a new lease of life. Contemporary Rod, glove, string and table top puppets are also used and developed at Darpana for a variety of stories. Courses can be specifically designed for groups and are conducted either at Darpana or in a host institution.
Special attention is given to the making of puppets and the creation of scripts.
The puppeteers are available as trainers for groups of teachers, village health workers, environmentalists and other groups to train them in the use of puppetry as a viable development communication technique. These courses are specifically designed.
