Ninasam Documentation Project 2016

The Dream

In 2015, Sanchi Foundation joined hands with Ninasam to document three Kannada plays. We wanted to document these Kannada plays and present it to the world community of theatre connoisseurs and academicians. Plays were recorded in HD with were subtitled in English. The project received a great support in crowd sourcing too. Project was a great success. There were few learning too.

Sanchi Foundation is now getting ready for the next addition of this documentation. As Ninasam gets ready for its productions, Sanchi Foundation wants to reach out to you for the help in funding. We will update you about all the development in this project through this page.
