JAMMU, Feb 16: Natrang Director Balwant Thakur today interacted with young aspiring actors at the “Freshers’ Theatre Workshop” being organized by Natrang at its studio Theatre, Jammu.
Aimed at giving an opportunity to the new aspirants of acting, Natrang keeps on organizing theatre workshops and periodic training programmes in which new talents are trained in the elementary aspects of ‘Acting’ and the approaches required to accomplish in the field of theatre and arts.
Speaking on the occasion, Balwant Thakur while elaborating the need for theatre said that this activity is a sophisticated expression of a basic human need and one might call it an instinct to mimic and project stories onto ourselves and others, and to create meaning through narrative and metaphor.
“We see this instinct expressed in children when they act out real or imagined characters and events. We have evidence of theatre-like rituals in some of the oldest human societies, long before the foundations of Western theatre in Ancient Greece ad Indian Theatre in Vedic times. So theatre matters, in essence, because we can’t help it. It’s part of what makes us human. Most importantly theatre brings people together”, he added.
Those participating in Natrang’s Fresher’s Workshop include Aakash Gadoo, Nikhil Dhar, Balvinder Singh, Sahil Sharma, Sachin Sharma, Shivam Singh, Piyush Anand, Rishabh Sharma, Vishal Sharma, Mahima Sharma, Naresh Kumar Sharma, Brijesh Avtar Sharma, Rokmesh Parihar, Abhee Bargotra, and Deepika Sharma.
The workshop is being conducted by Neeraj Kant and coordinated by Mohd Yaseen.
