The one-month residential workshop organized by Ebong Amra in Tepantar Theatre Village in November 2005 stands as a testament to the power of cultural exchange and collaboration. This transformative event was made possible through a curated exchange program facilitated by the German embassy, bringing together students from both Germany and India for an enriching experience at the crossroads of theatrical arts.

Hosted in the picturesque Tepantar Theatre Village, the workshop served as a dynamic platform for the convergence of diverse theatrical traditions, with the Flying Fish Theatre Company from Berlin, Germany, playing a pivotal role. The collaborative nature of the program fostered an atmosphere of creative synergy, as participants engaged in an immersive exploration of the dramatic arts.

Mentored by acclaimed thespians from both Germany and India, the workshop provided a unique blend of perspectives, techniques, and cultural nuances. This melting pot of theatrical wisdom not only deepened the participants’ understanding of the craft but also forged lasting bonds between the budding artists from two continents.

The exchange program, facilitated by the German embassy, not only transcended geographical boundaries but also bridged cultural gaps, fostering a sense of global artistic community. Beyond the development of theatrical skills, the workshop became a microcosm of shared experiences, fostering a lasting appreciation for diversity and collaboration among the participants. The November 2005 workshop in Tepantar Theatre Village thus stands as a shining example of the transformative power of cross-cultural artistic endeavors.
