College Theatre: More Than a Play, A Family
30 Sep
Summary
- College theatre students form deep bonds, creating a supportive family atmosphere.
- Students overcome challenges like coursework and injuries for their productions.
- The shared experience and relationships are valued more than the final outcome.
College theatre offers students an immersive experience that extends far beyond the stage. Productions like Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Fine Arts' Purushottam Karandak-winning play, 'Lajalu,' forge strong bonds, creating a familial atmosphere among participants. Students discover hidden talents and develop deep connections, valuing the relationships built as much as any accolades.
This collaborative environment sees students managing demanding coursework alongside rehearsals and production tasks. The commitment is evident, with individuals persevering through injuries and personal sacrifices to support the team. This shared journey emphasizes mutual responsibility and a collective spirit.
Directors like Swanandi Bhartal believe the visible bond between performers significantly impacts the audience's experience. The win for 'Lajalu' marks a significant achievement, especially after a 13-year gap since the college's last Karandak award. The enduring impact of college theatre lies in the confidence, belonging, and lifelong relationships it cultivates.
