We are a Bangalore-based Applied Theatre company. Theatre for all, Theatre for life - That's our mantra!

Hello,

It is precisely this infinite power that we believe can be transformative – for individuals, groups and organizations. Our dream is to have First Drop help you take that first step in your journey of transformation.

Our Vision

To help build a world through the power of theatre and magic of arts; a world of creativity, of empathy, of sharing and of sensitivity, with each person playing their true potential.

How?

We endeavour to do this by providing high quality awareness sessions, through customized trainings and workshops using the tools of Applied Theatre and Expressive Arts, that enable people from all walks of life – in the health care, corporate, education and sports sectors – find constructive outlets to their talent, thoughts and ideas thus helping them to reflect and reboot every day.
