  • 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.

  • Concert | Pangaea | 16 June | 7Pm
    Bipannata The Play Bipannata is the story of the helplessness of Sulagna Dutta, a woman in her late 50s, a widow and a single parent. She represents the middle class, who wakes up to a daily routine expecting a more or less secured lifestyle. She is neither a political bigwig nor a celebrity, but one of those you wouldn’t even notice when passing by. She has raised her son Ujaan to be a responsible man and who is now a computer engineer. The only problem is that he has his own well defined opinions. He is sensitive and reacts like a normal human being to events happening around him…events of large scale state generated violence that permeate into our lives and induce a constant state of fear. Sulagna is worried for her son, who goes into bouts of depression and hides at home, refusing to go out and participate in a world he cannot question. She sets up an appointment with a renowned psychoanalyst Dr. Ahana Roy. What follows is a heartrending search into fear psychosis and the resulting helplessness. Are we all trying to hide in our cocoons? Are we afraid to question? How is an individual supposed to negotiate in these circumstances? Do we need help? And who can help? Director’s note Choice of Bipannata – a rationale: The play tries to address the feelings of fear and helplessness that we carry within us in these hard times. How is one supposed to react to the violence that one witnesses daily? To questions of state induced terrorism, rape, capital punishment…….? Is one expected merely to drink it in with his morning cup of coffee? Or can one exercise his basic right of speech and thought? Can one help himself? Is there someone who can help? Can he expect any help at all? The Director Sohini Sengupta is an upcoming director and a leading stage artist and trainer of Nandikar.

  • Press Release 1
    Press Release 1. We, the undersigned, strongly protest and denounce the arrest of a Shramik Sangram Committee activist and Krishak Committee organiser Mr. Mithu Ghosh from Gangra area of village Sonachura, Nandigram, in the wee hours of 12th February, 2008, the subsequent arrests of Bhumi Uchched Protirodh Committee organiser Mr. Sudhanshu Das and his son, too, who provided shelter to Mithu on the fateful night, relating them with the same case, implicating them in the same FIR, etc., and the hue and cry raised by the police about what they call the ‘Arrest of a Maoist Organiser from Nandigram (!)’, in spite of the fact in the grasp of any knowledgeable person that Mithu and the aforesaid organisations for which Mithu worked are unrelated to the CPI (Maoist). But, anyway, we would like to add here a separate fact – that the police has perhaps forgotten that having relations with CPI (Maoist) or carrying a copy of the allegedly Maoist literature “Peoples March” was neither ‘illegal’ nor ‘prohibited’ when Mithu was arrested. 2. We find that the police surreptitiously added several documents later in the ‘seizure list’ which Mithu never distributed at any time during his regular visits to Nandigram over almost a year. Rather, Mithu had with him several copies of regular, open and legal publications, like “Sandhikshan” (in publication since 1972), “Shramik Istahaar” (in publication since 1974), “Krishak Path” (in publication since 1978) and Frontline etc.! 3. But the most shocking part of the police game is yet untold — both the FIR and the police report that were later submitted to the SDJM (Haldia) court contain names of some of the editors of the abovementioned publications, almost all being senior-most leaders of Shramik Sangram Committee and Krishak Committee – and not only that, they contain the name of a well-known cultural activist Ms.

  • Introduction to a Film on Female Genital Circumcision by It’S Lead Meenal Kapoor
    Introduction to a Film on Female Genital Circumcision by it’s lead Meenal Kapoor [ratings] The film is based on an important issue which has been overlooked because of ignorance about the subject. This film fills that void. It creates awareness about the urgency for banning the horrid medieval practice. Meenal’s performance holds the film together. The intensity with which she has delineated her character reflects on a conviction in the actor about the theme of the film. One must also congratulate the Director for communicating about the practice in such a short film. – Editor Female Genital Circumcision or FGC as it is commonly known is India’s best kept secret. This tradition is practiced in 21st century India within a small and conservative community of Dawoodi Bohras. This is a curse to any women and must be banished. We have made this film to bring awareness to our fellow citizens to abolish this draconian era act which has no place in our society. This short film ‘Female Khatna’, directed by Shashank Upadhyay, is on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) or also known as Female Genital Circumcision (FGC). Similar to circumcision of boy’s FGM, it’s a reality that is still practiced in our country albeit by a small minority community. Our team received threats from several people demanding to drop the film, they infact have vowed to cut the young director’s throat. However, he is determined to release this movie which focuses on the draconian era practice of circumcision of little girls often between the age of 6 to 12 years.

    Kartik The Play & Director’s Note This play has a storyline that could have been based on tomorrow morning's newspaper headlines. Using the wonderful theatrical device of three actors playing the central character of Kartik, we are able to enter his fractured world. We simultaneously see him as he was before the accident that changed his life; we also see him as he is immediately after the accident, recovering in hospital, at home and in school; as well as when he is an adult. The play brings together the present, past and uture in a seamless whole. It has been a fascinating journey with the actors and my own team. We have interviewed teenagers, their parents and teachers; watched their interactions in school, home and on the metro; created improvisations; spent hours mastering the intricate choreography; enjoyed the shopping for clothes that capture today's Delhi; and worked hard at creating over 36 characters, played by just 14 actors! The Director Educationist, theatre director and activist, Feisal Alkazi lives and works in New Delhi. Over the past forty years he has carved his own niche with his group, Ruchika. He has directed over 200 plays with adults in Hindi, English and Urdu. Most recently, two plays, Noor and A Quiet Desire, written by him have been produced. In addition, he has directed over 100 productions for schools all over India. Ruchika also runs a training program in theatre for children since 1997.
