Priyanka Mueller, Intern of Kolkata Sanved
On the 15th of march the participants of the
After Care Home for Girls at Shilayan had a performance at the Shelter Home under
the supervising of their DMT trainers Sampa and Soni di.
Sampa and Soni di who are regularly going to Murshidabad to
teach the Children at the Shelter Home DMT prepared with the participants a
performance. The preparations begun a long time ago and finally the date of the
performance should come.
On Monday the 11th Sampa and Soni di travelled
already to Murshidabad to do the final settings and preparations with the
inhabitants.
On the 13th Sreeja di reached the Home to support
Sampa and Soni di. Tuesday Sohini di, Somita di, Bithika and myself travelled
to Murshidabad to document everything and support our Trainers.
Bithika and myself got ready and meet Sampa and Soni di at
the Shelter Home. There we also meet the DMT participants who were busy
practicing the performance to make it perfect.
All of them seemed to be full of anticipation and they
practiced very hard so that the final rehearsal ran well.

Sampa and Soni di did not had to help too much. They knew
the steps and everything went well. At the end of the Rehearsal Sampa and Soni
di just gave them some few tips and motivated them so that the next day
performance would be a full success.
The next day began very early for the Kolkata Sanved Team in
Murshidabad. We got ready and the full team went to the After Care Home to meet
the participants and to prepare the Roundtable Meeting.
All of the residents expected our arrive.
First we had to prepare the Round table Meeting where Members
of different Organisations and of the Shelter Home came to discuss how DMT
helped the participants and how the future with DMT can look like.

During the meeting, Sampa, Soni di and myself helped the
performers with their outfits and make up.
The meeting was almost over when the ready made
performers walked to the place where the stage was set.
All of them positioned themselves on their positions and
waited for the show to start.
The Audience came and took their seats and then it started.
The performance was divided in three groups.
The youngest had a small dance prepared and performed with
full of joy.
The next performance was a small theatrical dance. It was
about the nature. There were trees, butterflies, tigers, deer, peacocks as
well as wind and river.
At the end there was a performance by the older participants
who had prepared a dance.
The 30 minute performance was mainly about the nature. Sampa
and Soni di choose the nature as the main topic because they feel like, that
the nature is a very important part in our life. Without nature we can’t life. And everyone should appreciate the nature with all their creatures like the
animals. For them as well dance is very important so they tried to make a
performance out of this two very important facts for them.
And it was a full success. To put this two very important
topics for the trainers as well as for the participants together and do a performance out of it was successful.
The audience liked the performance and they honored all the hours of
practicing and hard work with a lot of applause.
A big praise applies on Sampa and Soni di who had more then
80 girls under control and did such a big performance with them.
Also a thanks belongs to the participants that they worked
so well with their trainers and made it possible to set such a nice show.
The Trainers and the residents are looking forward to see
each other at the next DMT session and to dance all free all their emotions
through dance again.
