Bangalore: The Chrysallis Performance Arts Centre presented a show performed by physically and developmentally challenged children on June 22.

The day wove a special magic on the young and special performers of “Earth Song”. It was a truly blessed time for both the artistes and the audience. It defined moments of intense sharing and caring, and a special bonding that many people will carry away for a long time to come, according to an official press release.

These special children had an opportunity to reach out to thousands of others like them who have not had the opportunity to experience the joy of being among so many like and unlike themselves. This effort spelt out the existence of the Chrysallis Performance Arts Centre for the Physically and Developmentally Challenged, the release said.

The plan is to start off the programme with a curriculum on physical instruction, movement and dance. There is an urgent need for equipment that will help to implement the curriculum.

The centre is in need of exercise cycles, steppers, walkers, dumbbells, skipping ropes, sports/games items like balls and other playthings. Music instruments, harmonicas, tables, xylophones are also required.

Art material like paintbrushes, paints, waste-fabrics that would help in creative artwork could also be donated.

The centre also requires some basic renovation and decoration.
