Playwriting Student Showcase: A Curation Of Rehearsed Readings
Artist: Ramneek Singh
Participants: Sanjana Santhosh Ayyapath / Ishaan S S Vadlamani / Niyutsa Rajesh / Monal Agarwal / Yashas B S / Aaria Rajeshwari Bharadwaj
Third year UG students respond to various provocations, both aesthetic and socio-political, to the various recent socio-political events as well as cultural taboos, and write original work for the stage, from which a few scenes would be selected and curated for a rehearsed reading. These works have been developed by writing and improvising the scenes in class and both these processes of creation feeding into each other, to experiment with and create a tension between structure and feeling, between form and content. Ranging in themes from guilt, family, sexuality, trauma and relationships, these works by the aspiring practitioners give us an understanding of what concerns young adults today.
