ROING, Nov 26: A 15-day workshop on ‘production-oriented theatre’, based on the ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi, in commemoration of his 150th birth anniversary, began at the multipurpose hall here in Lower Dibang Valley district on Monday.
The workshop is being organized by Dimapur (Nagaland)-based North East Zone Culture Centre, in collaboration with the state’s art & culture department.
