Amol and Chitra Palekar
NATYA SHODH SANSTHAN Interview of Amol and ChitraPalekar FROM THE COLLECTIONS OF NATYASHODHSANSTHAN AUDIO LIBRARY Recorded on 1st. July, 1982 NatyaBhavan EE 8, Sector 2, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700091/ Call 033 23217667 visit us at http://www.natyashodh.org https://sites.google.com/view/nssheritagelibrary/home (Amol Palekar&ChitraPalekar came a little late and joined the discussionregarding the scope of theatre and the different forms a playwright tries to explore.) ChitraPalekar It is not that you cannot do a thing. You can do anything, you can do anything. It is not the point. The point is that the basic advantage that cinema has over theatre, the whole mass of audience, you know, all those eight hundred or nine hundred people he can put them to a close-up. This tableau we still see in theatre sitting as a design in a particular frame but here you can break that frame, you can go closer and he can focus your attention on just a little point here and a gesture here, and a gesture there and you know, on stage you will have to show with a torch yet it won’t be visible. Amol Palekar The point is …..Obviously two points come to my mind. First and foremost, suppose you are able to do it, and you are able to hold the audience then why not. The question is – yes, you do it for two hours, just keep one tableau and somebody the off sound is there. If that can hold then I think it will be a perfect valid theatre, why not? Bimal Lath Could it be that we can make 10 plays the same way? Amol Palekar Yes, why not? In fact I think on this issue I will say something which will immediately start a big fight so I will purposely started not for the sake of fight but because I believe in it also. -

It was an experiment. Lots of questions. Would a journal in English work? Who would our readers be? What kind of material would they want?Was there enough interesting and diverse work being done in theatre to sustain a journal, to feed it on an ongoing basis with enough material? Who would write for the journal? How would we collect material that suited the indepth attention we wanted to give the subjects we covered? Alongside the questions were some convictions. -

The participants include – Kishen Kumar, Shymanand Jalan, Shiv Kumar Joshi, Shiv Kumar Jhunjhunwala, Manamohan Thakore1, Samik Banerjee, Dharani Ghosh, Usha Ganguly2 and Bimal Lath. We welcome all of you on behalf of Natya Shodh Sansthan. For quite some time we, the actors, directors, critics and the members of the audience have been appreciating and at the same time complaining about the plays that are being staged in Calcutta in the languages that are being practiced in Calcutta, be it in Hindi, English, Bangla or any other language. We felt that if we, the practitioners should sit down and talk about the various issues that are bothering us, we may be able to solve some of the problems and several issues may be resolved. Often it so happens that the artists take one side and the critics-audience occupies the other. There is a clear division – one group which creates and the other who criticizes. Many a time this proves to be useful and necessary as well. -

Satabarshe Sombhu Mitra
Satabarshe Sombhu Mitra UGC Sponsored National Seminar on the Life and Work of Sombhu Mitra Organised by The Bengali and the English Departments of Chandraketugarh Sahidullah Smriti Mahavidyalaya In Collaboration With The Bengali Department of Amdanga Jugalkishore Mahavidyalaya From 22-8-2015 to 23-8-2015 At ‘Uttaran’, B.D.O Office, Deganga Block Debalaya (Berachampa) 743424 Call for Paper It is indeed difficult to overstate the influence of Sombhu Mitra on both the modern Bengali group theatre and the commercial theatres alike. If Nabannna, which came out in 1948 broke new grounds in many ways, Char Adhyay {1951) followed by Raktakarabi (1954), Bisarjan (1961) and Raja (1964) showed the way in which a Tagore play, hitherto widely denounced as unstageable because of its abstractions, can be performed with success on stage without making any substantial departure from the source. While through Tagore’s plays, he was trying to find an expression of the complete man in all contexts of history, Mitra’s Dashachakra (1952) and Putul Khela (1958), adaptations of Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People and Doll’s House, being specimens of the earliest such adaptations for the modern stage, clearly contributed among other playwrights to resist any tendency of cultural insularity of the Bengali stage, though suiting the themes for the dominantly middle class Bengali audience. His translation of Sophocles for the first time for the Bengali stage created new interest in classical drama and set the stage for many such future adaptations. Mitra was always aware of the potentialities of the indigenous forms of drama and Chand Boniker Pala (1978), which was written at a later phase of his life and was meant more for audio presentation than for the stage, takes up a well known story from a Mangalkavya and treats it with a subliminal intertextual link with the Orpheus theme to lend it with themes and motifs at once contemporaneous and eternal for all ages and all times. -
Setting the Stage: a Materialist Semiotic Analysis Of
SETTING THE STAGE: A MATERIALIST SEMIOTIC ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY BENGALI GROUP THEATRE FROM KOLKATA, INDIA by ARNAB BANERJI (Under the Direction of Farley Richmond) ABSTRACT This dissertation studies select performance examples from various group theatre companies in Kolkata, India during a fieldwork conducted in Kolkata between August 2012 and July 2013 using the materialist semiotic performance analysis. Research into Bengali group theatre has overlooked the effect of the conditions of production and reception on meaning making in theatre. Extant research focuses on the history of the group theatre, individuals, groups, and the socially conscious and political nature of this theatre. The unique nature of this theatre culture (or any other theatre culture) can only be understood fully if the conditions within which such theatre is produced and received studied along with the performance event itself. This dissertation is an attempt to fill this lacuna in Bengali group theatre scholarship. Materialist semiotic performance analysis serves as the theoretical framework for this study. The materialist semiotic performance analysis is a theoretical tool that examines the theatre event by locating it within definite material conditions of production and reception like organization, funding, training, availability of spaces and the public discourse on theatre. The data presented in this dissertation was gathered in Kolkata using: auto-ethnography, participant observation, sample survey, and archival research. The conditions of production and reception are each examined and presented in isolation followed by case studies. The case studies bring the elements studied in the preceding section together to demonstrate how they function together in a performance event. The studies represent the vast array of theatre in Kolkata and allow the findings from the second part of the dissertation to be tested across a variety of conditions of production and reception. -
