Its been almost two years since i
started my journey in theatre. Its still a part-time involvement but
sometimes it takes more than a full time.
Even though i admit
that it has no magical cure for stammering which i actually believed to
be when i joined theatre but still it is something incredible!!
something that we must try in our life. Playing some other character in
an imaginary situation is so so challenging and the best part is the
character changes with the next play. So you keep getting new
challenges. Other benefit which i see is helping you improve your level
of confidence. The ability to speak up in front of an audience. The
other benefit is on your voice, pronunciation- Enunciation – Breathing
right way – vocal exercises, all of it together helps you improve your
communication. Overall i can say that It cannot really cure stammering
but its not the only thing bothering you, more you are in the moment
when you are acting, you will see it fading away eventually…
About the play;
This
time my role is of an antagonist. Do come watch me perform. Its just
after your office timings. The play is in Hindi and titled as “Shagaaf”.
Here is the overall detail of tomorrow’s event:
is a play about one’s struggle with inner desires and demons. The
protagonist is suffering from a psychological disorder where he is in a
state of constant paranoia and is unable to trust even his near ones. He
has created an imaginary persona of himself and tries to resolve his
own fears and illusions through it. It’s an exploration into the basic
questions of life, where the answers lies within.
is a one act play in the genre of Theatre of the Absurd. It explores
the human condition of being trapped. Outside tells the story of five
people – Jim, Tina, Samuel, Claire and Edgar who find themselves in an
unknown place and have to find out why they are there and if there is a
way out. Will they make it out? Or are they doomed to be stuck forever?
play will be 40-50 minutes each. Total duration of the show will be
around 1 hr 45 minutes. This will also include a 10 minutes break after
the first One Act.
Children below 16 years of age are not allowed.

But yes, initially, a pws will need a lot of hand-holding, because the idea of "talking on stage" can be so counter-intuitive for many of us..
I think, it is time you conducted a theatre workshop for cws and pws..
