PANJIM: In a first, a unique initiative called ‘Creator Connect’ to encourage young aspiring writers and musicians from Goa to showcase their creativity was held in the State earlier this week.
This event was part of the collaboration between the Goa State Higher Education Council, Directorate of Higher Education (DHE) and Mugafi (Unlu). A total of 350 students from 40 Higher Educational Institutes across the State of Goa participated in the event.
Indian playback singer Raagini Kavathekar, screen writer Prashant Pandey who penned the Bollywood film Sarkar Raj, music composer of album ‘Bohnimaan, The Folk Flows’ Dony Hazarika, and Indian television and web series writer Sumrit Shahi were at the launch of the event.
This training event was part of a series of events where Goan students will be trained to unleash their creativity in music, dance, scriptwriting, and storytelling, and eventually introduce them on the national and international stages.
At the launch of the one-day Creators Connect event, Goan students showcased their talents in music, dance, drama, and storytelling. These students will now attend intensive training in the form of boot camps, online and offline training sessions, and hands-on activities. This was followed by group discussions between the Bollywood experts and the participants. The discussions focussed on various aspects of stage performances.
