Two sides of the same coin...

One coin. Two sides - heads and tails.

Living beings. Two sides - good and evil.

Nature. Two sides - give and take.

What would you choose?

Power gives choices. A choice you make defines what you are - more importantly, your belief. And sometimes, the belief affects someone in how they believe in themselves!


The crow in the famous fable, "Thirsty Crow" saw it all! The bad. The ugly. But the spirit of believing in itself and learn from mistakes, kept it going. 

Inspired by the fable, the band of beads puppet show-cum-art session, "Hello, Thirsty Crow!" saw it all in a week -

 


The Give and Take.



The Good or Bad?

band of beads believes in the spirit of the thirsty crow. Keep believing. Keep learning. And one day, you will get it! But not always the 100% - because we can all strive for perfection... but no one is perfect!

Puppet Show & Art - A Hundred Hands

Image
  A design institute. A handmade crafts festival. A bright, spring day. Felt like heaven for an art-lover! I landed on the new environment, where the hand-made crow puppet was to perform - an open-air amphitheater! A wider stage, a bigger audience... excitement was crawling in! As I assembled my DIY theater, I had some company on stage - NIFT students rehearsing a dance with classical music! A perfect start! Soon, it was time! The crowds were set, ready for the show. This time, the young crowd was dancing to the tunes of the songs, and gave a perfect chorus! The crow felt at home, despite the wider theater setup! Afterall, I had my whole family to cheer and support, this time! With a little  hand-made bird puppet in their hands,  lots of inquisitive questions followed after I ended the puppet workshop: "How to make the puppet say 'caw...caw'?" "Can I make this bird eat?" The answers turned into actions! The children departed the amphitheater with puppets in ...

Hello Thirsty Crow! - BIC

Image
The ambience felt so homely - mattress seating, custom mini-theatre in a library, on a rainy Sunday morning! "Mamma, what is behind the brown curtains?", the first reaction from a 3-year old in the audience. I heard the whispers with answers. Curious children, excited parents... I was all ears sitting behind the curtains. The ambience was captured in camera by another curious member, all grown up... my daughter! Its a wonder of perspectives! I could hear a range of emotions as I got into the character of the thirsty crow, enacted through a handmade puppet. The audience (including the parents) were great participants. There was a point, when the "caw, caw.." became a favorite chorus! The thirsty crow was now a hero! A puppet making activity had to follow as everyone wanted to get a handmade puppet, like the thirsty crow! It was a sight worth a capture when the puppet came to life! A world of fantasy! band of beads would like to thank all the parents and the kids for ...

Hello, Thirsty Crow @Sabha

Image
A timeless, majestic venue. A modern vibe. That's SabhaBlr. An imaginary music filled my ears as my daughter and I landed here on the early Sunday morning. Felt like the time clock was wound a few years back, but the essence was still relevant to the current. The child artist in me was at home! We assembled our DIY stage - made of connectors, rods and curtains to give a child-friendly look. The artwork on the stage was inspired by what a small kid would do - clouds with cotton, bushes made by paper fans, a tree made with a roll and the fabric stage background created by band of beads. The support staff did their best to keep the place spotless and in order. A perfect team-work for the prep time. The DIY Setup We could hear the giggle of our first guest as we got ready to welcome. And the giggles doubled, quadrupled and so on! Thanks to our ticketing partner, Urbanaut. Seamless booking experience for curated shows - both for the host and guest. Our handmade puppet (with a special fa...
