Workshops nurture artistic taste: Prakash Raj
Inauguration of ‘Beyond the Score - Rhythm’ workshop at St. Aloysius University
Mangaluru: Renowned film and theatre artist Prakash Raj opined that workshops conducted in colleges play a significant role in nurturing an interest in the arts.
He was speaking after inaugurating the four-day workshop, ‘Beyond the Score - Rhythm,’ by playing the drums at the St. Aloysius Deemed University campus on Thursday.

It is heartening to see such workshops happening at Aloysius College, celebrated like a festival. It is essential to develop an interest, faith, and understanding of the arts at a young age," he remarked.
Last year, the university organised a cultural festival under the banner of ‘Nirdiganta.’ A similar event is scheduled for February this year. Prakash Raj extended his best wishes for the success of the workshop and encouraged everyone to celebrate art.
Speaking as the chief guest, St. Aloysius Deemed University Vice-Chancellor Rev. Dr. Praveen Martis said, “Life becomes more fulfilling when we listen to the rhythm of our hearts.”
Introducing the event, Anush Shetty mentioned that the four-day workshop would focus on teaching participants to play various musical instruments, guided by resource persons.
Prominent personalities such as Christopher D’Souza, resource persons Shrikant Swamy, Munna Mysuru, and Krishna Chaitanya, were present during the event. The programme was hosted by Sweedal D’Souza.
The ‘Rhythm’ workshop is jointly organised by the St. Aloysius Deemed University’s Theatre Studies Centre and ‘Nirdiganta,’ led by actor Prakash Raj, and will run from today until January 5.
