For Shiv Tandan, the founder of the performing arts space Castiko in Versova, these are exciting times to live in. While the shift to the digital realm came with a whole new set of challenges for educators like him, Tandan embraced the change and with Castiko, employed unique methods to conduct workshops and sessions virtually that were interactive and fun. After a brief hiatus during the first lockdown, the space soon resumed virtual operations in the form of online open mics and sessions. This weekend, they are set to conduct their second virtual edition of the Castiko Carnival, a day-long series of online music workshops exclusively for adults with beginner lessons in guitar, keyboard, dance and vocals.
