Bringing Rajan Khatiwada to RCA for a Theater Workshop
Anthony DeQuattro/Regional Center for the Arts
This project aims to bring Rajan Khatiwada, Creative Director of the Mandala Theatre in Nepal, to RCA for an immersive theater workshop. Funding will cover Rajan's fees and travel expenses from Boston. Rajan’s previous visit to RCA in 2019, as part of a cultural exchange, allowed limited time to work with theater students. This workshop provides a unique opportunity for deeper engagement, focusing on the rich cultural and theatrical traditions of Nepal’s over 100 diverse communities.
​
The workshop will explore both collective and individual expressive methods through body movement, sound, and thematic language, offering students an experience vastly different from Western theater techniques. The primary goal is to enhance student’s cultural awareness and expand their understanding of global theater practices.
