JAMMU, July 17: Natrang’s National Theatre Talk Show, ‘Young Voices of Theatre’, today featured enterprising alumni of National School of Drama, theatre actor-director and designer, Vidisha Purohit who shared her inspirational thoughts with the global audience at Facebook page of Natrang Jammu.
Director Natrang, Balwant Thakur informed that till now this talk show featured 40 acclaimed young voices of theatre spread across the country who have earned a distinctive name for themselves as actors, directors, designers or technicians through their outstanding contribution in the field of contemporary theatre.
Vidisha Purohit started her creative journey with a certificate course at Sagar Film & TV Academy, Vadodra in Gujarat.
With a dream of becoming an artist, a performer since her childhood, she graduated in Performing Arts with specialization in Acting from J.G College of Performing Arts, Ahmedabad.
Post Graduate in Design and Direction from National School of Drama, New Delhi in 2016, Vidisha has the credit of working with different theatre groups, where she directed, designed and performed with National and International artists in various productions.
In conversation with Natrang’s senior artist, Neeraj Kant, Vidisha narrated her eventful journey of theatre. She fondly remembers that as a child, while watching theatre shows on Gujarati TV, she used to imitate the same scenes with her friends.
She shared that there is a tradition of commercial theatre in Gujarat but audiences want to watch entertaining performances rather than absurd and thought provoking plays as they don’t want to think much while getting entertained, so developing an audience for a different taste was a hard task for her.
Natrang team managing the national event includes Suresh Sharma, Neeraj Kant, Anil Tickoo, Sumeet Sharma, Sanjeev Gupta, Vikrant Sharma, Mohd Yaseen, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Gauri Thakur and Chander Shekhar.
