PROJECT REPORT
1ST
MONTH
March-April
I WENT TO R.D. public school betul for taking workshop and prepare a
play on the theme gurukulam based on the gurukul system of
education from ancient times to modern times.
IT was a school with mamoth capacity of 5000+ students in the area of
betul and nearby villages with children having absolute no exposure of
theatre before.First day was a pretty interesting one as I came to terms
first time in life with the school system which is no exception to the
sarkari system one office to another from manager to vice principal
to reception to principal back to reception again and after few hours I
finally on my way to meet the children.I have to choose children from
all the classes and that means ALL. I took auditions of around 3000+
students in two days fort the span 4-5 odd hours for which I think I
should be given a guiness world record or something rather than just
internship but anyways I was a bit low in confidence in first class but
then I regained my composure and as the time progresses I started to
feel a lot more comfortable in facing the children .The rest of the

process gone smoothly with children from lower classes nursery or so
showing much more interest as compared to higher class students.One
primary reason being their exams are going on and some classes have
just finished their exams ,the students were a bit exhausted so I try to
convinece them that we are going to do something different from
their usual studies and it will not be that boring.Some of them
convinced others were made by teachers using their own hitlerish
techniques.So I hav got every kind of children ranging from 5 to
15,there was every possible diversity is present in terms of
height,attitude,attribute everything.I broke them into groups and at
first I decided to avoid children from smaller age group so I called only
children above class 5th
.Intially I taught them basics of theatre parts of
stage etc ,then trust exercises and working in group.I have got around
70 to 80 odd children and the number keeps fluctuating.Then in the
following days I came on body and voice exercises.And then comes the
play part there are 8 different stories first one being prahlad and
hirnaykashyap,ram ravan the story when ravan was dying and he gave
all his knowledge to rama, then comes the story of krishna and
sudama,follwed by chanakya and chandragupta,then king
vikramaditya,then king bhoj and then modern india title under the
nemr Navjivan.There were plenty of girls involved as compared to
proper female characters , so I decided to do the vikramditya part only

with girls playing male characters and also done characterisation
exercises with them .Before starting the play I gave them improvisation
exercises.That helps them to understand the theme properly and
understand the characters.Each day I start with exercises related to
body movements follwed by breathing and voice exercises.It was
indeed an intriguing one month with them. I learnt a lot from
them.Their creativity was fantastic.There are also tense
movements.Also other teachers complaint about noise and other
factors but I able to connect with children more freely and to be at ease
with them with each passing day,I started to enjoy my work which at
the start seems to be quiet hectic.All in all an experience to remember
forever.I have been with them for almost 23 days from 21st
march to
13th
april .

up and movements.Then breathing and voice exercises.Then different
acting exercise and improvisation related space, time, relationship
Character building,concentration,status etc.The play I have done there
was InspectorMatadeen chand par a satire on police system by
renowned author Harishankar Parsai. I converted it into a play by
adding recent incidents.At first I narrated the theme only to them and
ask them to improvise using their own imagination main emphasis
should be on the body languge.They came up with some interesting
ideas about the story and the characters.
The venue has never seen a play staged before It is quite a
task.But thanks to IPTA members we able to do that.
We used several songs in the play and for the costumes we used
newspapers.The participants gave their full cooperation in every
department.Also helped us in getting costumes and properties.Some
police officers gave their original uniform for the play.

3rd
month
May-june
Now I want to do a production with children in Ujjain.These were
difficult months as lot of thought process has been put in to what
should be done.Also talks with childrens,their parents and also
government organizations to help financially or by other means like
providing space for rehersal but nothing concrete could be found out.
Then Rang utsav Samiti came to help and Mr. Rajendra Chawda
provided me with the space to work with children .Currently the
workshop is going on and a production based on Ruskin bonds book
Hanuman came to the rescue which is based on the stories of
Ramayana is scheduled around mid july in Ujjain.
