History says that the theatre was generated from the ritualistic practice even when people didn’t start staying together. As they started making communities, certain practices got generated within them, sometimes it was worshipping Gods, or, sometimes it was the preparation of hunting. The practice of coming together and making a work successful helped them to grow as a community. That also helped people to survive. Theatre also came as a form of entertainment. When the rain arrived after a hot summery day or when women make rice or when fishermen go for catching fish, they keep singing, and dancing- that creates traditional forms of art, create theatre as well. This helps us to realize how theatre has worked as a tool of unity and uniformity for the community.

Theatre is also seen as a reflection of society. It gets generated from the life of common people. it reflects the socio-political issues, economic hazards, battle of religion to push the audience from their easy comfort zone. It is used as a tool for education, reformation and change. When a group of people practices theatre, it generates the relevant thoughts that can provoke society to think through. At the same time, when a group of people watches a certain theatre, they also get the stimuli of thinking beyond. Therefore, the community of practitioner and audience create a non-verbal communication in the theatre which formulate the shifts. 

The practice of theatre includes mind, body and emotional presence, where three of the elements get nurtured and nourished during the process. When a group of people comes together in the theatre, the shared space offers them to negotiate with each other while making connections with each other as well. The training methodology pushes a person to go beyond their limits where they can experience the range of emotions and movements that one has. That experimentation helps a person to transform from within. It also provides a sense of freedom where one gets the chance to experience another person’s emotions that he/ she never be able to get. That generally happens while playing mythological characters. These larger-than-life characters provide a sense of freedom to a person who never gets the taste of it in their regular life course. The embodiment of those characters also opens up the desires and wishes that one cherishes within themselves. Experiencing another life pushes one person to go against their limitations and boundaries and bring changes in their life as well as in society.

Theatre camp with children who never got the exposure to watching theatre or doing theatre creates a space for experience and experimentation. There, a group of unknown children negotiates with each other which helps them to develop the skill of working in a group, dealing with others and working on themselves as well. As the theatre training process provides life development skills, the children learn to build self- esteem, develop self- confidence, generate new ideas and also learn to observe their own bodies and emotions. While they got to know themselves, the shared space creates a sense of commonality and bonding that helps a community to grow. In the case of children, the training process facilitates the practice of being together and at the same time, it also facilitates the process of nurturing self.

The theatre camp in Chowhati was one of the initiatives by B-CAF, that aimed to connect people through art where the art can work as a form of transformation. The group of children who came together in the session experienced different range of emotions and movements which also helped them to push their limits.
